Glasgow Science Centre will launch Powering the Future Week on 17 August to support remote learning for children during the lockdown due to Covid-19.
Children will discover how energy is relevant to their everyday lives, from finding out about renewable sources like hydroelectricity and wind turbines, to designing and powering their own transport of the future.
Glasgow Science Centre’s Powering the Future Week on GSCAtHome will also be complemented by a special issue of The Spark family science magazine and an online energy workshop.
A new, energy-themed video will be released at 10am every day as part of GSCAtHome’s programme.
Powering the Future Week on GSCAtHome has been produced with sponsorship from Opito, a global not-for-profit-skills body for the energy industry.
Opito external affairs director Jill Glennie said: “We hope the week-long ‘Powering the Future’ programme will inspire viewers as they discover more about energy and how it powers everything around us.
“Please tune in to the Glasgow Science Centre YouTube Channel from 10am, 17 August – and enjoy!”
Glasgow Science Centre chief executive Stephen Breslin added: “We are very grateful to Opito for supporting us to create these energy-themed videos on GSCAtHome.
“With these, and our long-standing partnership with them on OurFuture.Energy, we hope to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers for the energy industry.”
Glasgow Science Centre’s Powering the Future Week will run from Monday 17 August to Sunday 23 August.
The videos will be broadcast every day on Glasgow Science Centre’s social media channels, and people can follow the activity and get involved using #PoweringtheFutureWeek and #GSCAtHome.
