Pupils explore climate change issues and energy in schools, and the science of renewable energy resources with a global dimension. The activity was originally designed to be delivered by university engineering students from Engineers Without Borders - UK as a schools' outreach activity but has since been amended so teachers can deliver directly without additional support. Through an interactive starter activity, pupils discover how energy access via the National Grid differs between their own country and Kenya. They look at renewable energy solutions and in the main activity, they design and build a wind turbine. They are designed for both primary and secondary students and are suited to a 60 or 90 minute session but could be extended. This is an ideal activity for a science or STEM club.
