Showcase "Energy 100 years ago, today, in 100 years"

Showcase "Energy 100 years ago, today, in 100 years"

Tell a story how the world might look like in 100 years in relation to a form of energy. Share your vision about the future in a specific topic you choose. Research how the form of energy was used 100 years ago and how it is used today (e.g. with the help of an interview). Build teams of max 2 students. All showcases are presented in a single contribution on https://dontwastemy.energy

Mind the category on The Horse: Showcase Energy

Length & scope of your showcase should be similar to the ones in the following "Showcase examples"

Some ideas for showcase projects
Beispiel Photovoltaik
Anhand eines Alltagsgegenstandes, z.B. Velo
1) Mensch isst Gemüse (Kalorien/Joule), mechanische Energie erzeugt durch den Menschen selbst
2) Elektrovelo heute (Akku, Aufladung durch Sonnenstrahlung bzw. Umwandlung via Solarzellen zu elektrischer Energie)
=>WICHTIG: in Kombination mit Berechnungen (z.B. Dauer für Akkuaufladung, Distanz von Wetzikon nach xy, Leistung, Energieverbrauch kWh, etc.)
3) Vision: Elektro-Flug-Velo

Beispiel Energieform "Dampf" (Dampfmaschine)
1) Dampf mit Kohle erzeugt (Dampf-Lokomotive)
2) Dampf für Elektrizitätserzeugung weltweit (konventionelle Kraftwerke, Kernkraftwerke, Solarkraftwerke)
3) Dampf der Zukunft

Success factors

  • Originality: Ideas, concept, fantasy, examples
  • Media quality, amount, self-made: Audio, photo, video
  • Traceability (Nachvollziehbarkeit): Used/linked materials and sources, quality of data sources, up-to-dateness
  • Specials: Does the showcase contribution astonish, give new insights (T&U)? Is it understandable? (e.g. in relation to reality/daily life/examples)
  • Content quality: correctness of text, calculations, links, formatting, etc.

Milestones, Deadlines
