During Energy Week were were really lucky to have Shane from Aurecon came and talk to the Year 5 and 6 students. Shane is a Sustainable Energy Engineer and his main job is to work on Wind Farms investigating the best places to put them and how much energy they will produce. In his spare time he is really interested in Solar Panels and talked to us about the Solar Air heater he has built at home. This uses the suns heat to heat up air that can then be pumped into your home to heat it for free. Pretty cool.
The students enjoyed having an expert talk to them and learnt a lot about a job you could do if you are interested in sustainable energy.
Thanks Shane for giving up your time to talk to us.
