Put on your thinking caps and design a creative solution to solve our hospital's energy problem. Students will be given blueprints of the buildings, and given free reign to come up with the most innovative, fun and even whacky ideas. To allow for even more creativity, students can place the hospital anywhere in the world and make use of all sources of renewable energy.
Show off your results with posters or models our Festival & Energy Day @ Hagley Museum & Library on April 20.
An amazing opportunity for teachers and students to work together to solve a very real problem. |
