Student hub

 

Do you have an energy question? Or maybe an idea for a STEM project? Or do you want to share with other students and schools what you have learnt about renewable energy? Did you visit one of our sites and take some cool pictures of our lakes, dams or power stations? Or maybe you are a budding artist and you've drawn a picture of our water catchments?

 

This is your space to share your ideas, projects and photos. Please send them into education@hydro.com.au and we will post them on this page.   


National Water Week project 2020


Thank you to everyone who entered our National Water Week project schools competition. A big congratulations to Princes Street Primary School, the winner of our $300 book pack!


This year, during National Water Week, we wanted to deepen Tasmanian students' relationship and understanding of water. Students were asked to think about and express what water means to them, then pair a visual representation of their water place with a piece of writing.

We received so many fantastic entries! All entries will be on display at the Waddamana Power Station Heritage Site.

Introducing our STEM Hydro Heroes

Characters-Eddie

"Hey kids, I’m Expert Eddie and I care for our native plants and animals."

Expert Eddie loves being outside and using science to care for our native plants and animals.

Through science, Expert Eddie is able to understand why some fish are threatened and finds ways to protect them.

'"Hey kids, I’m Solve-IT Sam and I love finding solutions to problems."

Solve-IT Sam is our deep thinker... She loves using technology to make tasks simple and easy to do.

Using virtual reality footage of our power stations can help our engineers to identify how to solve a problem, rather than have them travel many kilometres to a site.
Solve-IT Sam is making power stations more accessible from other locations.
Characters-Sam
Characters-Eliza

"Hey kids, I’m Energy Eliza and I like looking after our energy machines."

Energy Eliza is creative and a problem solver.

By using engineering skills, Energy Eliza is able to design ways to make our power stations run more efficiently.

Energy Eliza likes to include the advice of Expert Eddie, Solve-IT Sam and Pelton Pete when she is coming up with a solution.

"Hey kids, I’m Pelton Pete and I help make energy."

Pelton Pete uses his electrical and mechanical skills to pull some of our big generators and turbines apart when they aren't working the way that they should.

Pelton Pete loves using the large overhead cranes to lift machines out and really gets a buzz out of starting up a whole power station.

By using his knowledge, Pelton Pete is able to help out Energy Eliza, Solve-IT Sam and Expert Eddie - they work as a team!
