Part 1: August 14, 9am to 4pm
Part 2: August 15, 9am to 4pm
Participants will gain hands-on experience working with solar panels and
model wind turbines to generate electricity. We will experiment with
different wind turbine shapes and sizes, and see who can get the most power
from their generator.
We will look at examples of small, community-based renewable energy
projects around the world that demonstrate how versatile these energy
sources are.
We will cover the pro's and con's of each renewable energy type that we
look at and explore how these systems are being used, not just in Nova
Scotia, but across the world to create a cleaner, brighter future for
everyone.
Spaces are limited so don't wait!

*2nd Annual Sealight, Skylight*
A celebration of the sea and sky at night

Sealight, Skylight is an event that celebrates the sparkling phosphorescent
algae in the summer sea at night, and the Perseid meteor shower that occurs
every year around mid-August.
Aug 10 will be a community celebration and an introduction to the night
sky, with the peak of the meteor shower occurring on Aug 12.
Last year participants saw upwards of 60 meteors and numerous other night
sky phenomenon, so lets hope for another couple cloudless nights this year!
