Delivered by young people for young people, the Edinburgh Woodcraft Folk Powerpod provides an interactive and fun introduction to renewable energies and the climate change challenge and how this links us to the wider world

Powerpod Peer Education is an outreach/development programme of Edinburgh Woodcraft Folk.

The Powerpod is available fo primary and secondary schools, science festivals, youth and community groups, local community events and trade exhibitio

What are the workshops?

We have tours of the Powerpod, workshops on designing water turbines, power from potatoes and lemons, wind energy workshops and role play and interviewing using radio and video.

All the workshops are hands-on, including: making wind turbines, a solar powered motor, climate change games and testing your own power with the energy bike.

The peer educators are continually adapting our range of workshops. 

Want a visit?

We can bring the Powerpod to you. 

 All our youth volunteers are trained to provide workshops suitable for groups of up to 30 children and young people from aged 6 upwards.

The  project is managed by a youth committee (aged 11-20) and aided by adult members from Edinburgh Woodcraft Folk.
