Sound like fun? It's more than that. Energy Quest is:
- Curriculum linked, covering energy sources and energy transfer
- An easy way to deliver real world context STEM
- A way to develop aspirations, teamworking and resilience
- Inspirational and a brilliant opportunity to introduce students to relatable role models
