Program

 Please note that workshops require a seperate fee and registration.*

CanREA and Relay Education will deliver an engaging hands-on workshop demonstrating how wind and solar technologies work through small group exercises where participants build their own projects and test them under a variety of scenarios. The workshop will share facts about renewable energy and dispel common myths. Participants will learn about the role that wind and solar can play in bringing local jobs and economic development, contributing to BC’s energy security, and advancing reconciliation with First Nations through equity partnerships. This workshop involves bringing in miniature examples of both wind turbines and solar panels for experimentation and hands-on learning. Participants will conduct experiments on solar panels related to shading, overheating, and light in terms of the electromagnetic spectrum and experiment with wind turbines in terms of testing how various blade lengths affect energy generation while taking the blade pitch angle into consideration.
