Portable renewable energy display for classroom and other community presentations! Kids and adults “light” the board with hydropower, wind and solar generation. The hydropower hand crank allows kids to feel differences in energy load, and the differences between LED and regular lighting. A volt meter allows kids to see differences in energy output. The display shows both the hydrologic cycle and how energy is distributed to homes and businesses. Visit fwee.org to learn more about the display.
