This week the children participated in a very interesting workshop on Wind Farms and Renewable Energy which was hosted by Coillte and Learn Renewables. The children learned all about the 20 new Wind Turbines which are currently being constructed on our local mountain, Sliabh Bán.
All the children made their own energy by making wind turbines and measuring how much energy they created. It was great fun!
The children were very interested to find out that the Wind Turbines are currently en route to Sliabh Bán from Vietnam, by ship! We also learned that a number of Roundabouts from Dublin Port to Sliabh Bán will need to be altered to allow the Wind Turbines to be transported.
The Wind Farm project will be finished by Summer 2017 and there will be a new recreation area and walking routes. We are looking forward to visiting the mountain and using the new areas and seeing the Wind Turbines.
