Powering the Future Workshops at Cleadon Park Library

We topped and tailed the day with two awesome workshops in the heart of South Shields!

Hot on the heels of our Powering the Future challenge in primary schools across South Tyneside, we ran a series of workshops in local libraries this summer to get creative cogs turning and ignite some imaginations!

Funded by the new, extraordinary Dogger Bank Wind Farm being constructed off the North East coast, the workshops explored renewable energy, how it works, and why it is a crucial part of the solution to climate change. 

We challenged kids in the workshops to use their imagination to create new ways to generate renewable energy and learn prototyping techniques to bring inventions to life.

The workshops were available August 2nd and August 16th to children of primary school age, accompanied by an adult.
