Exploring Energy Concepts

Over the next few months, our students will be learning about Energy and Electricity. This program is called "Revive" and is in collaboration with the business students at Okanagan College in the Enactus Program. This program has been designed for students to explore energy concepts, renewable and nonrenewable, and to grow their understanding of how energy is converted into electricity. Students built a basic solar powered car and made light up cards by creating an electrical circuit. The cars didn’t work great at first, but the students and Mr. Buller got in the engineering spirit and modified the components for better results by drilling wider holes for the axles and adjusting the solar panels.

The class will also have OC student volunteers available to assist with some of the more technical lessons.

The Enactus OC students will be presenting the "Revive" Energy Unit as they compete in a Regional Competition this March against other Enactus-created programs from around western Canada.
