Step inside a wind turbine tower, see the world’s fastest electric car, go for a ride on a scooter or bike powered by electricity, have a cup of chocolate heated using fuel cells and learn about the things you can do to get an everyday life without fossil fuels.
”At our exhibition you are not told to turn down (e.g. the heat) or stop doing the things you like. You simply find a new smarter and sustainable way to do them” says Julie Nilsson, Head of Green Vision.
The students have set up eight tents on the square, filled them with models, animations and presentations within these topics ”House and home”, ”Wind and fuel cells”, ”Transport”, ”Biofuels” and ”a Green Denmark”. And they are going to tell about the technologies, how they are used around the world and how they can become part of our everyday lives in the future.
”The students are part of a research environment every single day and have a unique passion for their work. It is not so long ago that they attended upper secondary school, so they have a good basis for explaining matters so that everyone understands,” says one of the organisers, Frederik Otzen Bagger.
And Christian Schrøder Kaas continues: ”At Green Vision we believe that if Denmark should continue to be at the forefront of energy technologies, we must start to make an effort now to arouse interest in technical sciences, thereby ensuring future scientists. This is exactly what we are doing with Green Vision. We invest in the future by inspiring the present.
Pupils and students wait in line
Municipal primary and lower secondary schools and upper seceondary school classes are invited to the square Thursday and Friday. Many want to attend the exhibition and a long waiting list of classes want to experience energy technologies from a down-to-earth perspective.
The environment spokesmen from all parties have been invited for Thursday, and on Saturday the exhibition will be open to the public; who are of course also welcome the other days.
Green Vision hopes that the students’ passion for natural science will shine through during the whole event.
