Who can generate more energy – you or your friends? How much energy does it take to log on to Facebook, or search on Google? Energy goes in to almost everything we do in our houses, our schools, everywhere we live, work and play, but where does it come from and what goes in to making it available to us? How much do we really need - could we even live without it? We’ll see that we use energy in some surprising and unexpected ways every day and we’ll also explore what energy is, where it comes from and why it’s important to sustainability. We’ll even give you the opportunity to create your own energy circuits using nothing more than an ordinary pencil!
