Save Your Energy! Family Day

Half Day Workshop

Book tickets

Mitsubishi Electric will deliver their award- winning programme The Learning Curve (with a few twists), designed to teach children about energy use and energy efficiency. The session will begin with an interactive presentation introducing the theme of retrofit, children will be split into three groups to take part in a range of fun energy inspired activities. The day will end with an arts and crafts making session where the children will turn everything they have learned into a poster they can take home and show their teachers and friends.  

If you are an architecture or environmental enthusiast, this day is for you. Bring your children along to this family day of fun and educational activities. Volunteers from ECD Architects will also be on hand to assist throughout the day.  

The day is also an opportunity for you to see the Retrofit 24 exhibition and learn more about the Building Centre. We look forward to meeting you there!
