Taking Energy Education
further with Real Data
Solar Schools provides curriculum-aligned lessons and learning experiences for both primary and secondary school students.
As part of your Solar Schools subscription, energy meters will be installed at your school to record consumption and generation of energy. Use this live data to provide student learning experiences that lead to actionable insights.
You'll have access to a comprehensive Teachers Toolkit, as well as a suite of interactive digital tools to bring science and data to life.
