Renewable Energy Critically examine the differences between the types of electrical energy generation and why it matters Enquire Now A hands-on workshop relevant to modern living. Students investigate electrical energy production from renewable and non-renewable resources. The activities cover a range of topics including wind farms, the Snowy Mountains Scheme, how to reduce energy consumption in the home and the difference between ozone depletion and the enhanced greenhouse effect. Students will develop a better understanding of the different sources of energy and gain insight into current research being undertaken into energy production. This performance can also be viewed as a LIVE web conference anywhere in the world! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the activities listed below will be covered during the conference. Upon booking, you will receive a PDF outlining the materials that you can have on hand to make the workshop more interactive. It’s not a problem if you can’t source all of the materials, as we’ll have these on hand for the workshop Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)
