Energy: Powering Our Future
Presented by National Grid
Where does the energy we use every day come from? How much power does it take to light a single bulb? Learn about power, energy, and climate change together in our Energy exhibit! Interactive games exploring renewable energy sources (wind, hydro, solar) and the human impact on Earth’s climate make learning about this critically important topic fun and engaging for all ages.
