Wir stehen unter Strom!
Volksschule August Thielmann, Telfs
Where does our electricity actually come from? Is there enough electricity for everyone? How can each of us save electricity?
In the project Wir stehen unter Strom! (We are under pressure!), the children find answers to these complex questions. The students of the August Thielmann elementary school in Telfs have been dealing with this relevant, exciting and interesting topic since the beginning of school. After a very descriptive visit to the pumped-storage power plant Sellrain-Silz and an informative research in our school library or on the Internet, the children started to build their own power plant out of LEGO, which was programmed and brought to life with the help of SmartHubs and tablets. The result was a reservoir, a run-of-river hydroelectric power plant and several wind turbines. Particularly innovative is the residential house including a solar system on the roof, which stands on cogwheels and can thus rotate with the position of the sun. Motion sensors, among other things, have been installed to save electricity. This is what our version of the future looks like.
