'Climate Cops'

An award winning programme aimed at encouraging environmental awareness.

The brief was to create a suite of desktop interactives that would compliment 'Climate Cops'; a new multi-media resource aimed at pupils aged from 7-11. The interactives had to be robust, transportable and intuitive to use.

FifeX created 4 interactives:

• Hand Generator - allowing users to appreciate 'what is energy?'
• Wind Turbine - experiment the effects of increasing the number of vanes, the size, shape and weight of each vane and finally the orientation
• Water Power - demonstration tool to show how we can harness the force of water to produce electricity
• Transformer Station - step-up / step-down transformer

We also refurbished and repaired some existing older exhibits including a water power exhibit by incorporating a speed control for the water pump thus allowing users to correlate the wheel
speed to the amount of energy it produces.
