The Renewable Energy Roadshow!

该项目旨在就可再生能源背后的科学和技术开展广泛的实践活动、互动展览以及讨论和对话活动。这将提供给中学和社区节日在苏格兰各地使用我们的专用移动的拖车，“PowerPod”。“Powerpod”（由苏格兰行政部门的可持续行动基金资助）由赫瑞瓦特大学工程学院的学生建造，安装了太阳能电池板，照相机和风力发电机。这些绿色能源可用于演示从为移动的手机和i-pod充电到制作奶昔的各种应用。“Powerpod”中的活动将由一系列实践研讨会进行补充，探讨能源储存、燃料和太阳能电池、风力涡轮机等主题;研讨会还将探讨开发这些资源所需的研究和研究过程。这些活动将由两名兼职科学传播者/科学家使用通俗易懂的语言进行，既提供信息，也提供机会，与熟悉科学技术和气候变化问题的科学家和科学传播者接触。此外，我们将在网页上为参与者和教师提供支持材料，这将加强有关主题的课程，并为课后俱乐部提供活动。

This project seeks to deliver an extensive programme of hands-on activities, interactive exhibits and discussion and dialogue events about the science and technology behind renewable energy. This will be delivered to secondary schools and community festivals throughout Scotland using our purpose-built mobile trailer, the 'Powerpod'. The 'Powerpod' (which was funded by a Sustainable Action Fund grant from the Scottish Executive) was built by students from the School of Engineering at Heriot-Watt University and is fitted with solar panels, photo-voltaics and a wind generator. These sources of green energy can be used to demonstrate applications ranging from the charging of mobile phones and i-pods to making milkshakes. The activities in the 'Powerpod' will be complemented by a range of hands-on workshops exploring topics such as energy storage, fuel and solar cells, wind turbines; and the workshops will also explore the research and research process required to develop these resources. Delivered by two part-time science communicators/scientists using readily accessible language, these activities will provide both information and an opportunity to engage with scientists and science communicators familiar with the science and technology and issues surrounding climate change. In addition we will provide support materials mounted on a web-page, for participants and teachers, which will enhance lessons on related topics and provide activities for after-school clubs.
