PICS-SFU Initiatives
Outreach Program for Kids. Science in Action energy workshop
Exploring Energy: Conversion, Consumption and Conservation
Children from grades 4 to 7 have a hands-on opportunity to explore different ways to generate “green” energy using wind, sun and water as a power source.
The program looks at topics such as generating electricity from renewable sources, finding out how much energy is required to light different kinds of bulbs while pedaling a bike, and learning about the effects of green house gases on the climate. For the poster click here.
Make a difference! Become a Volunteer!
SFU students are invited to participate in this workshop as volunteers. You will help to run one of the 5 stations that are part of the program. This is a fun and unique opportunity to engage with your community and with children!
