Public demo day

A public demo day is normally organised over an afternoon with  2 parallel sessions and 7 times lots of 45 min. In this setup, a total of 14 family groups can participate (min age: 3). In the 45 min, participating groups normally get the following experience:

  • Short intro to offshore wind (5 min)

  • Build the turbine (10 min)

  • Install one fixed structure (10 min)

  • Install one floating structure (10 min)

  • Decommissioning (5 min)

Volunteers help out during the day with setting up, teaching kids, and packing up at the end.

Outdoor school demo

The sessions at the beach normally take 2h, during which we do the following:

  • Introduction to offshore wind (10-20 min)

  • Build turbine in groups of 4 (10-20 min)

  • Test fixed support structures (25-35 min)

  • Test floating support structures (25-35 min)

  • Decommissioning (10-15 min)

We can organise up to 3 of the beach sessions in one day. Per session we teach max. 25 kids (age: 8 - 15). Instead of at the beach, the sessions can also be run at a lake, pond, swimming pool, or with a water tank/sand pit.
