Solar Suitcase: Powering up sustainability

We are committed to encouraging school pupils to consider careers that have a positive impact on our future.

The Solar Suitcase project offers activities in the areas of materials chemistry with a particular focus on sustainable energy generation. A range of hands-on activities provide practical experiences that can be performed in groups. These are supplemented by other learning activities in the classroom, such as workshops, a class on sustainability, or a game-based workshop on climate change.

We are happy to tailor to specific needs and keen to discuss.

Example activities include:

• Making solar cells from raspberry juice
• Electrolysing water into hydrogen &ing oxygen
• Studying photoelectrochemical devices
• Building a solar water splitting device
• ITO glass substrates for the fabrication of the dye sensitised solar cells provided by Ossila
