Welcome to Explore Renewables

Explore Renewables is an innovative new project running across middle and secondary schools in the North East of England. Explore Renewables is designed to provide school children with a hands-on way of understanding renewable energy and its relevance in their everyday lives, as well as aiding learning in science, mathematics, design technology and geography.

Through Explore Renewables, middle and secondary schools in the North East can use a specially designed solar thermal system in their lessons, and interact with other participating schools through this website.

Project aims:

• Promote student engagement in the science and engineering of renewable energy
• Help children to understand the relevance of energy in their daily lives
• Boost interest among pupils in engineering and science careers
• Encourage the adoption of sustainable energy technologies in schools and communities
• Bring science, maths and engineering to life through practical application
