Renewable Energy: Renewable energy sources, such as solar power, harness energy from natural processes that are constantly replenished, making them sustainable alternatives to non-renewable fossil fuels. Solar energy is derived from sunlight, which is abundant and freely available, making it an attractive and environmentally friendly energy source.

Solar-Powered Devices: At the Energy Station, young scientists engage in hands-on activities to build solar-powered fans and cars. These devices use photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar cells, to convert sunlight into electrical energy. Solar cells are made of semiconductor materials that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight through the photovoltaic effect.

Harnessing Solar Power: Through the construction and testing of solar-powered fans and cars, students learn about the process of harnessing solar power to generate electricity. They observe how solar cells capture sunlight and convert it into usable energy to power the devices. This hands-on experience demonstrates the practical application of solar energy technology and its potential to provide clean and renewable power.

Sustainable Energy Sources: By exploring renewable energy concepts, students gain an understanding of the importance of sustainable energy sources in mitigating climate change and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. They learn about the environmental benefits of solar power, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and minimizing air and water pollution.

Inspiring Environmental Stewardship: Through the engaging and interactive activities at the Energy Station, students are inspired to become environmental stewards and advocates for renewable energy. They develop a sense of curiosity and passion for exploring innovative solutions to energy challenges, empowering them to contribute to the development and adoption of renewable energy technologies.
