Green energy exhibition- Sparks room

In the Ice Age Center’s Sparks room, the numbers on the electricity bill are studied

The Ice Age Center opened Sparks room, which was completed together with the students of Võru Gymnasium. It is an educational exhibition that draws attention to topics related to electricity. What do the electricity package and bill, network fee, savings, electricity market, stock exchange price mean? How to find your way around such a topic?

The exhibition introduces visitors in a simple way to how electricity works, what it consists of and how to use it sustainably. Here we take apart the individual bars that the electricity bill actually reflects, what the different numbers come from and what they mean.

It is an interactive exhibition, because you can also generate electricity yourself and find out how the Solar Park of the Ice Age Center works.

“The attraction of the Sparks room will probably be the model of the city where the electricity has been lost due to the storm and the crisis committee has to decide how to hold out until the electricity is restored,” introduced Kadri Valner. “it is important to decide which are the vital institutions in the city where electricity must be preserved.”

This simulation also provides an opportunity for new educational programs, because it teaches teamwork as well as logical thinking and acting out real situations.

Sparks room was completed in cooperation with Võru high school students, thanks to which the young people’s point of view has been added to the exhibition.

The main target group of Särtsutoa is young people who study in elementary school or high school, but there are many activities for adults as well.

The completion of the exhibition has been supported by the Estonian state, the Ministry of Climate and the Center for Environmental Investments, carried out by Adexpert and Kerttu Laane design.
