Solar panel manufacturer GoodWe Australia has launched a roadshow to educate children about renewable energy and climate change.
The EcoSmart Kids initiative will involve the company’s custom-made Smart Innovation Vehicle travelling across Victoria for a series of interactive workshops at primary schools.
GoodWe Australia has written a curriculum to teach children about the virtues of clean energy and striving towards a greener future in Australia and globally. The content will identify climate change and ways the next generation can help the environment.
“We take pride in thinking outside the box and trying to be a pioneer in the renewables industry,” says GoodWe country manager Dean Williamson. “We saw a unique opportunity to utilise our Smart Innovation Vehicle to reach a new audience in a fun and informative way that we hope will be very rewarding.”
Following the school visits, participating children can take part in a statewide competition to promote a positive environmental message. Winners and prizes will be awarded for each school, with first place moving on to an awards event at the Melbourne Home Show on 25 August, 2023.
“We are proud of the EcoSmart Kids program and look forward to seeing what young creative minds will deliver in the competition,” says Williamson. “Through our trial visits, we were amazed by the knowledge and insight the children had, and their energy and enthusiasm has us excited.
“Long-term, we hope to deliver EcoSmart Kids across Australia and tailor it to regions around the world.”
