Re-Energy
Become a Renewable Energy Engineer
Watch the Re-Energy Intro Video
Introduction
co-benefits and trade-offs of using comparable renewable energy systems. In this engaging STEAM program, learners become renewable energy engineers by using detailed construction plans to build their own working models of electric vehicles, energy storage systems, solar ovens, solar cars, wind turbines, hydroelectric generators, and biogas generators. Learners can also make use of related links and backgrounders to explore each renewable energy technology in depth. Re-Energy is a proud recipient of the 2017 UL Innovation Education Award!
- Discover the fundamental principles of biology, chemistry and physics
- See the application of science and technology to some of today's most important environmental issues
- Enjoy the challenge of building working models.
