"The Energy Systems Value Chain game taught me about energy systems, especially energy conversion components in the value chain."

— Zarade, Birrel Avenue Senior High School

"I have learned that climate change can be very harmful to our environment and ecosystem at large. I have also learned about their impact and how we can sustain the planet and make it better."

— Chioma, Wesley Girls Senior Secondary School

"It was today I knew the meaning of geothermal energy and I am really happy for that. I have learnt a lot!"
