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.

该项目旨在提供广泛的实践活动、互动展览以及关于可再生能源背后的科学技术的讨论和对话活动。我们将使用我们特制的移动拖车PowerPod将这一信息发送到苏格兰各地的中学和社区节日。PowerPod(由苏格兰行政当局可持续行动基金资助)由Heriot-Watt大学工程学院的学生建造，配备了太阳能电池板、光伏和风力发电机。这些绿色能源可以用来展示从为手机和i-Pod充电到制作奶昔的各种应用。除了PowerPod的活动外，还将举办一系列实践讲习班，探讨能源储存、燃料和太阳能电池、风力涡轮机等主题；讲习班还将探讨开发这些资源所需的研究和研究过程。这些活动由两名兼职科学传播者/科学家使用易于理解的语言进行，将提供信息，并提供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的机会。此外，我们将在网页上为参与者和教师提供支持材料，这将加强相关主题的课程，并为课后俱乐部提供活动。
