Arcola Energy for Schools delivers innovative and inspirational workshops using renewable energy technologies to design, build, and explore the possibilities of a low-carbon future.
Arcola educators and engineers have delivered workshops to over 1,500 London school students as past of the London Schools Hydrogen Challenge, 3,000 Abu Dhabi school students at the Abu Dhabi Science Festival and 800 students at the Cambridge Phyisics at Work programme.
“I enjoyed this workshop. It taught me the meaning of global warming in detail, making it clear for me how I could help reduce carbon emissions and how to slow down global warming” Eden, Year 9 – participant in October 2010 workshops
Arcola Energy for Schools demonstrates the science behind renewable energy in a fun and tangible way, exploring the workings of a low carbon economy on a miniature scale. Workshops are tailored to the curriculum and can be delivered in the classroom or at Arcola Theatre. Current workshops include building miniature wind turbines and testing them in a wind tunnel, and building and racing hydrogen powered model cars.
