The energy transition is one of the greatest levers for effective climate action. One thing is particularly needed to make it happen: educated and motivated professionals who want to put their careers at the service of climate action. Our mission is to give children and young people the knowledge they need about climate and energy, and to inspire them to pursue careers that contribute to a successful energy transition. Through our “Powerplayground”, we regularly run workshops at schools across Austria and beyond. We also participate in major public events to reach a broader audience. One of our core competencies is the interactive communication of complex topics using Virtual Reality. We work with renowned research and industry partners to make scientific findings understandable and tangible for different target groups. This is also where we can support research projects with their dissemination: We turn project and research results into interactive experiences and integrate them sustainably into our school workshops, allowing them to be used regularly and create long-term impact rather than, as is unfortunately often the case, ending up in a drawer after the project is completed. At the same time, we make the developed formats available to our project partners for their own use and support them in presenting their results at trade fairs, conferences, events or internal meetings. In this way, we help projects make their results visible, understandable and tangible.
