Bilzen (The Brussels Morning Newspaper): Aspiravi Limburg Wind is organizing school days near Bilzen’s new wind turbines, where kids can learn about wind energy through fun activities. Jacques Lowette mentions the turbine is 200 meters tall. Everyone is invited to visit Open Bedrijvendag.
Aspiravi Limburg Wind is organizing special school days to teach kids about two new wind turbines near the E313 highway in Bilzen. They have turned four sea containers into fun classrooms where students can learn about wind energy. In these classrooms, they can do hands-on activities like making electricity by pedaling on bikes, which shows how renewable energy works. Students can wear virtual reality glasses to experience a pretend climb up to the top of the wind turbine, giving them a good view of how these big structures work.
What educational opportunities does Limburg Wind offer for kids about wind power?
The program aims to inspire young people to understand and appreciate renewable energy, especially wind power. It has been said that by combining lessons with hands-on activities, students will learn how wind energy works and its importance to the environment. This initiative educates students and encourages them to consider careers in renewable energy and environmental care, fostering a sense of responsibility for sustainable practices in their communities.
According to Jacques Lowette, the wind turbine is 123 meters tall with the elevator and 200 meters high with the blade. He thinks it will be both scary and fun for a worker to go all the way up next Wednesday, October 9th. Limburg Wind is inviting everyone to visit the new wind farm on Open Bedrijvendag Sunday. From 10:00 to 17:00, people can come to Damerstraat 3 in Bilzen to learn about wind energy.
