GeoEnergy NI, is delivered by the Department for the Economy (DfE), with scientific support from the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland. It is a geothermal demonstrator project, exploring the potential for both shallow and deep geothermal energy across Northern Ireland. The GeoEnergy Discovery Centre is designed to help schools, families, businesses and community groups discover the power of geothermal energy through a range of educational resources, including interactive technologies such as Virtual Reality software. Visitors will come away appreciating the huge potential of geothermal as a sustainable energy source to heat and cool homes and buildings as well as support industry and farming. As part of our schools’ outreach programme, a bespoke KS2 Teaching Pack has been created, with activities and resources designed to engage students with geothermal energy. We aim to deliver Teaching Packs for KS3 and KS4 in the future. The GeoEnergy Discovery Centre is primarily based on the Stormont Estate, next to the Mo Mowlam Play Park, but will be available to travel around Northern Ireland to visit schools and stakeholders during set periods in 2024. If your school is outside the proximity of Stormont, please get in touch to register your interest in the GeoEnergy Discovery Centre visiting your area here: https://geoenergyni.org/contact-us
