Children's book: Gaia's Energy Adventure
Gaia is worried about our changing climate. When her toy bear Ursa comes to life, he takes her on an exciting adventure to show her ways we can make clean energy from the wind and oceans, giving Gaia and her friends and family a better, brighter future.
A children’s adventure book in offshore renewable energy (ORE) has been created by the Supergen ORE Hub.
Designed to inspire young people to think about careers in STEM fields and to act as an early intervention to the 'leaky pipeline' and issues of representation in the offshore renewable energy sector.

The role of offshore renewable energy research in mitigating climate change
By transitioning to clean and sustainable energy generation we can mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, and offshore renewable energy has a vital part to play in the clean energy mix for the UK.
To celebrate the COP26 Energy Presidency Theme, we've launched our new Supergen ORE Hub video examining the role of offshore renewable energy research in mitigating climate change. Take a look to hear from the Hub Co-Directors and discover how we’re addressing some of the key research challenges in offshore wind, wave and tidal energy on the route to delivering net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Educational Resources
To help young people engage with the amazing feats of engineering behind offshore renewable energy we offer educational resources including templates for designing a paper wind turbine and links to online resources. We hope to inspire young people about STEM subjects and to share the exciting news that developments in offshore renewable energy are creating a growing range of jobs, in engineering and across all sectors.

Outreach and Events
Part of our ambition is to engage young people with the STEM subjects and to help them to consider exciting roles in offshore renewable energy for their future careers. We work to inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists and policymakers in marine energy and to make sure that the workforce is diverse and inclusive with an improved proportion of underrepresented groups.
We take a mini wave tank to events so we can demonstrate basic concepts such as how wave energy is converted to electricity. We can talk to young people about the full scale tanks used by university students, researchers and companies, helping them to discover future options for work and study.
