Make energy visible. Make STEM physical.

Energy Mixer forms part of the Eco Classroom Outdoor programme, delivered in partnership with The Hideout House Company. The Eco Classroom Outdoor is both shelter and teaching space. It provides shade at playtime and operates as a working sustainability system within the school grounds.

At its centre is Energy Mixer, a permanently installed renewable energy system designed to support practical STEM learning. The system is powered by three sources: our X-Bike generator, a wind turbine and an integrated solar panel. All energy generation is measured and displayed live. As students pedal, as the wind turns the turbine and as sunlight hits the panel, energy flows visibly through the system. A central LED display responds instantly, allowing students to see electricity being generated in real time. When generation increases, the display builds. When it drops, it falls.

The electricity produced is usable. Students can route power to laptops, lighting and music within the classroom, demonstrating generation, distribution and consumption in one live microgrid.
