I just ordered a LEGO Renewable Energy Kit to see if it’s suitable for use as a camp activity for this summer. It looks like a very engaging kit with a dynamo, a solar panel, a rechargeable battery pack, a power meter and a very impressive windmill to generate power.

From LEGO:

Students will explore renewable energy sources; investigate energy supply, transfer, accumulation, conversion, and consumption; and use measurements and data analysis to describe and explain outcomes through hands-on activities and exciting, real-life models.

I’ll post more when I get a chance to look at it in detail.
