Eden Education:
Power Your School

We have partnered The University of Cambridge and EPSRC to offer schools an opportunity to collect energy data from your local environment (your school) to create a countrywide picture of energy usage.

Tasks include mapping the school and local area, predicting where the best sites for solar panels might be, use scientific equipment accurately to recording results and make conclusions, calculate the financial benefits of solar panels over a few years, investigate the benefits of renewable energy, creating a poster to persuade the school governors into investing in renewable energy.
