CAGIS Virtual – Make a Working Water Wheel! – Ages 13 to 17

In 1950, the world’s population was ~1.8 billion. Today, it's over 8 billion - more than three times higher! How can we generate enough power for this growing population and changing technology while protecting our environment? Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is leading the charge: 86% of Ontario's electricity is from clean energy sources like hydroelectricity, nuclear, and wind. In fact, Ontario has one of the cleanest energy grids in the world! Join us to become clean energy experts as we design, build, and optimize our own water wheels! Then, we will put them to the test: how much energy can our water wheels produce? After the session, enter the Hydropower STEM Challenge (check back on October 24th) for a chance to win amazing prizes! This session is in partnership with OPG’s Power for Change Project. Check out OPG's WattNext program to learn about career pathways and find answers to all of your energy questions!
