Science of Energy

Since 2011, the Science of Energy booth has helped to feed the curiosity of inquiring minds, through hands-on, small-scale green energy generation and conversion demonstrations suitable for kids from 2 to 102.Our booth is a zone for exploration, experimentation, and play, which aims to transform an abstract concept – energy – into a sensory experience.

All booth participants have science backgrounds: they are professors and students from the physics department who can address the intersections between science and energy but also answer questions about why science research is important and what it looks like in real life. We have also had many fun discussions about quantum mechanics, relativity, and other contemporary physics topics that kids of all ages wonder about!
