PROJECT
Meet the World of Energy
The project combines open educational resources from two of our existing sources of knowledge. The first source of knowledge is the physical experience of The World of Energy where interactive multimedia exhibits and experiments are available: https://www.svet-energije.si/en/exhibits/ and the second source is the eSvet webpage with digital educational resources: https://www.esvet.si/. By combining existing educational written, audio and video materials from both sources we will create an open knowledge interactive presentation/course as a motivation for students and others to learn (more) about energy and visit us.
