The purpose of erex’s “Electricity class for parents and children”, a summer vacation project of Saiki City Library, is to deepen children’s knowledge and interest in renewable energy, such as the scientific mechanism of power generation and its contribution to the natural environment.
On the day of the event, participants had a chance to make a small size power plant using actual motors and LEDs, not just listening to our explanation on how electricity works.
Children who participated in the event created their own original power plant by decorating as they wish while learning how the power plants operates.

After the class, all participants moved to Saiki Power Plant to listen to an explanation from the staff and then went off to a tour of the biomass power plant.
“It was good to understand how electricity is generated,”, “I didn’t know that there was a biomass power plant in our town. I want to tell my friends.”, are some of the voices heard from the children who participated.

erex will continue to contribute to local communities in the municipalities where our power plants are located through these types of activities.
