SOLAR-E RESOURCE – SCHOOL TOPICS
This website has been developing its own resources for children since 2001. The emphasis in this resource is the practical application of ideas and knowledge that may help with school projects and also inspire children to make things after school, that becomes a learning experience in itself.
Any school teachers who have ideas that will contribute to this learning philosophy by solar-e are most welcome to submit them for addition to this section of the website so other students around the world may benefit.
