    Megawatt always goes down very well in primary schools and we’ve had some excellent feedback from both teachers and students. It’s a topic that children are excited to learn more about.

    For most, the topic of energy generation will still be new. Megawatt shows how science can be both fun and hugely relevant – to the students themselves, their future careers, and the wellbeing of the planet.

    At a stage where students should have a basic understanding of how energy is generated, Megawatt is a great tool to reinforce this knowledge which all science or geography students should have and inform their upcoming choices around future careers.

    By now, students should have a pretty good grounding in the relevant areas of science and geography. This is a great opportunity to foster classroom discussions around energy policy and climate change with students and also discuss how their careers can help shape the future of energy – as well as a little light relief from what can be a demanding schedule!
