Renewable Energy STEM Workshops for Kids
Big Energy. Big Ideas. Hands-On STEM.
What if children could explore some of the biggest questions about energy by actually getting hands-on with the science?
​
Our Alternative Energy STEM workshops turn concepts like solar, wind and water energy into experiences children can explore, question and understand.
Designed for schools, OOSH, vacation care and community programs, these workshops combine real science with the kind of hands-on learning children remember long after we've packed up.
Choose a workshop below and get ready to power up their curiosity.​​
H2Woah!
Water has some serious power.
​
We use it every day, but water can do much more than come out of a tap.
H2Woah! gets children exploring the science of moving water and discovering how it can be harnessed as a renewable source of energy. It's hands-on, surprising and packed with opportunities to investigate, experiment and ask “what happens if…?”
​
STEM Focus:
•Water • Hydropower • Renewable Energy • Forces & Motion • Sustainability
Glow Getters
What makes something glow?
​
Glow Getters explores the fascinating science of light and energy. Children investigate how light behaves, interact with surprising phenomena and use observation and experimentation to uncover some of the science behind the glow.​
STEM Focus:
•Light • Energy • Physics • Observation
• Scientific Investigation
Everybody has Wind
Turns out, moving air is pretty powerful too.
​
Wind might be invisible, but its effects certainly aren't.
In Everybody Has Wind, children explore what happens when air gets moving and how we can harness that movement to create energy. Along the way, they'll investigate forces, motion, engineering and why wind has an important role to play in renewable energy.
STEM Focus:
•Wind Energy • Renewable Energy • Forces & Motion
• Engineering • Sustainability
Energy Engineers
The future needs problem-solvers.
Where does our energy come from? Where does it go? And could we do things differently?
Energy Engineers puts those questions into children's hands. They'll investigate energy, engineering and sustainability while thinking about the real-world challenge of powering our lives in smarter ways.
It's STEM with a purpose — and plenty to get curious about.
STEM Focus:
•Energy • Renewable Energy • Engineering
• Problem Solving • Sustainability
Sunny Side Up
There's a giant energy source sitting right above us.
The Sun does a lot more than make a good beach day.
Sunny Side Up gets children thinking about sunlight as energy and exploring how we can harness it to power our world. It's a hands-on introduction to solar science that connects energy, sustainability and some very clever engineering.
​
STEM Focus:
•Solar Energy • Renewable Energy
• Energy Transformation • Sustainability
Pulse-tastic
There's an incredible energy system working inside you right now.
​
Pulse-tastic turns the investigation towards the human body.
Children explore the relationship between movement, the heart and circulation while discovering more about the systems working away inside us every second of the day.
Expect plenty of hands-on investigation — and probably a few children suddenly very interested in finding their pulse.
STEM Focus:
•Human Body • Heart & Circulation • Biology
• Energy • Scientific Investigation
Which STEM adventure will you choose?
Whether your children are fascinated by the Sun, wondering how wind can make electricity or ready to investigate the energy inside their own bodies, there's a workshop ready to get them thinking.
Beyond the Beanstalk workshops are designed to do more than keep children busy. We want them questioning, experimenting, problem-solving and talking about what they've discovered afterwards.
And you don't need to spend hours planning, sourcing equipment or trying to turn a Pinterest experiment into a STEM program.
We bring the STEM to you!
