Energy Explorers
Abstract
We The Curious is an educational charity and science centre with a vision for a future where everyone is included, curious, and inspired by science to build a better world. For 25 years, We The Curious have welcomed over 300,000 visitors annually and have engaged more than 65,000 school children through hands-on science experiences every year.
We The Curious is celebrating its 25th birthday by developing a new sustainability themed area of its science centre. This project with WWU aims to inspire thousands of people of all ages to explore how different energy sources work in different contexts – sparking curiosity, building confidence, and empowering communities to take part in a fair, low-carbon transition.
The exhibit will help visitors of all ages discover the different renewable sources of energy, understand how they work, and explore why a balanced mix of energy solutions is essential to transition away from fossil fuels. Designed as a social and collaborative experience with multiple interaction points, the exhibit will highlight that shaping a sustainable energy future requires teamwork – across technologies, communities, and generations.
