Schoolgen

Schoolgen is a programme developed by Genesis Energy to educate school children across New Zealand about solar energy. Schoolgen’s aim is to bring solar energy to life in a fun, exciting way as young people are our future leaders and decision makers. The Schoolgen website provides teachers with resources about solar energy and energy efficiency.  Children can read the e-book “Kiwi Kids Discover The Sun” and enter the latest competition to create a “Mean Green House.”

ElectroCity

ElectroCity is an online game that allows users to build and manage their own virtual towns and cities, making important decisions and learning about energy generation, environmental management and many more practical and relevant concepts. There is plenty of real-world information built into the game and players can put that information to good use in their own cities. Teacher resources are available on the site so teachers can incorporate the game into classroom lessons.
