Area 2 - The Pod - EDF Energy's programme for greener schools
The Pod is an interactive website for teachers and Eco-Coordinators. It provides high quality cross curricular teaching resources, activities and games as well as a place to share ideas and showcase your work. Plus all Pod activities are accredited by Eco-Schools and can count towards your awards.
Watt can you power? Find out in the Pod's Activity Zone. Your students will be able to test their energy output on our generation bike and see what electrical items they can power. Will it be a 20w light bulb or a 700w television?

Area 4 - Love Where You Live (Morning)
Love Where You Live is Keep Britain Tidy's exciting campaign that aims to inspire, encourage and enable us all to make where we live, work and play the kind of place we really want it to be. It's about making a difference ourselves, whether as individuals, groups, schools, local authorities or companies.
Find out about our Summer of Love campaign and come and visit us in the Activity Zone and tell us why you love where you live and what you’ll do to look after and protect it. We’ll be taking your pledges and posting them on our wall and giving you the chance to win prizes.
If you love where you live, come and see us and tell us why.
Area 4 - How did you do that? (Afternoon)
In this area you will find Eco-Schools demonstrating some of their most popular and successful eco-activities watch this space for more details...
Area 5 - Alien Invasion
What would intelligent friendly aliens think if they visited earth about how we humans were looking after our planet? Would they think we were doing well or badly? This area will be based on Sheffield's successful Alien Invasion Campaign and will give everyone a chance to imagine they are an intelligent alien and meet Gooshi Sheffield's very own alien. This will also be linked to a treasure hunt which will be ongoing through the show.
Area 6 - Eco-Graffiti Wall
The Eco-Graffiti wall activity will give everyone an opportunity to visualise a greener future by adding pictures, drawings and slogans. Schools are encouraged to develop their ideas in advance based around their own positive eco-activities and bring along their photographs and colourful drawings or simply draw and develop them on the day.
Activity Challenge
Each Scooterpod holds up to 12 scooters. Where space is really at a premium, the Scooterpod can be split in half and placed against a wall or solid fence, losing only 2 spaces per Pod. They are compact enough to post out to you and will arrive with full instructions, nuts and bolts, ready for fuss free, self installation. They do not require any groundworks before installation and are great to brighten up and keep school sites tidy. Just wheel the scooters in and lock them.
All Primary colours are available and recyclable. Our black version is made from 100% recycled materials. They truly capture the children’s imagination!
An environmentally sustainable product, Scooterpods are proudly manufactured in the UK! We are the only Carbon Neutral cycle/scooter parking supplier in the country.
Perfect for schools who are working towards or have achieved Eco Schools, Green Flag or Healthy Schools status.
