Abstract

An oil-well, an eolian power station, some solar cells and a power line

Energy, in all its forms, is a subject of everyday discussion at all levels. Through the design and the application of innovative pedagogical strategies, with exhibits, hands-on, laboratory work and user-friendly multimedia packages in 5 languages, dealing with Energy and energy-related issues, we will provide young students, teachers and the general public with a deeper understanding of energy, its exploitation, current problems and future scenarios, together with an appreciation of its impact on our society. The objectives of the project are to explain the impact of scientific and technological advances and their applications, benefits and limits to the general public and to young students, in order to make scientific and technological knowledge more readily accessible to them, taking advantage of the effectiveness of an interactive approach, and to stimulate young people's interest in scientific careers. The project, indeed, will provide citizens in general with a deeper understanding of the nature of energy (its transformations, exploitation current problems and future scenarios) and its technology together with an appreciation of its impact on modern society.
