Developing future energy careers

Building a clean, reliable grid, one classroom at a time.

Learn, play games, and turn one classroom into a movement for clean energy, until every student becomes a grid innovator: a Gridovator.

Hi, I'm Barry Beaver

I run the workshops. I start with a question from your own street, like why the fan stops every evening. Then we guess, test it in the simulator, argue a little, and fix it together. Nobody sits through a lecture. You leave knowing how the grid works.

The Clean Energy Workbook

A digital workbook that takes students from the Sun and the wind to the grid, one chapter at a time. Worked examples from India, boxes that explain every new word, and questions at the end of each chapter. It is being used at multiple schools right now.

Open the workbook
Workbook page on how much carbon dioxide each source of electricity produces, with a bar chart. Workbook page on watts, kilowatts and the kilowatt hour, with a table of everyday appliances. Workbook cover: Clean Energy Workbook, with wind turbines, solar panels and Barry Beaver.
Our game

Run the grid. Become a grid operator.

Grid Control puts you in the operator's chair for a whole shift. Keep a city's lights on while the sun moves, clouds roll in and the wind drops, with Supervisor Jo teaching you from the very basics.

  • ⚡Balance supply and demand and keep the grid at 50 Hz
  • ☀Use solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, biomass and gas
  • ◑Store power in batteries and hydrogen, trade with neighbours
  • ★Earn stars for a clean, steady, affordable shift

Hands-on science

Want to try cheap experiments at your school?

20 experiments you can run with everyday materials. Most cost under ₹500 and several are free. Build a solar cooker, light an LED with lemons, or find the best place for solar panels on your roof. Every one comes with a materials list, clear steps and pictures.

In the classroom

Sessions start with a question a student can answer from daily life, then build to the grid. Here is how two of them open.

Opening slide: How do you keep a rickshaw moving all day? Three electric rickshaws drive past a sun, with a battery on two of them.

Opening slide: How does wind make electricity? Four wind turbines turn on green hills under a bright sun.

Why this matters

Electricity demand is rising as transport, heating, industry and computing all move onto the grid. The way that electricity is generated is shifting at the same time, from a few large plants to many variable sources. The systems that carry that power and hold supply level with demand are the hardest part of the change. The people who will plan, build and run those systems are in school right now.
