Activity Description

Relay Education is bringing field trips to multiple schools for the Kids' World of Energy Festival!

Relay Education’s Kids' World of Energy Festival is a school-based event that exposes students to a variety of energy types in a hands-on environment. Students get a chance to explore wind power with wind turbines, solar power with solar panels, electricity with circuits, and biogas with chemical mixtures.

The following is a description of the day:

There will be 4 stations setup in a space within the school. Each station will have a hands-on activity that is directed by volunteers or Relay Education staff. 4 classes (one class at a time) will come to the space for approximately 1 hour. The Relay Education lead will give a short presentation about the event to the class. After the presentation, the classroom of students will break into 4 groups. Each group will go to a station. When the students get to the first station, you will provide passport sheets to the students which will be used at all of the stations. You will have approximately 12-14 minutes to complete the activity with your group. Once you hear a signal from the Relay Education lead, your group will switch to the next station, and you will receive a new group of students. This will continue until you have engaged all 4 groups of students.

What do you need to be able to do?

• Be comfortable with speaking to and directing groups of children from diverse backgrounds;
• Good to have knowledge of and a passion for environmental issues, teaching, technology, engineering, and/or science;
• Have a great sense of humour
• Please be punctual. Your role will be extremely important for the day.
