Project Description
Discover how power plays a role in our world and everyday life. Conduct hands-on experiments with alternative forms of power and practice the mathematical language of energy. Apply what you learn to real situations in our community surrounding energy efficiency and conservation. Join us on a mission to put our power to good use to change how our families, community and world use energy.
