In a world where the impact of climate change looms large, educating the younger
generation about clean energy is vital. The Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival (SCRF)
recently played its part boosting pan-UAE efforts by hosting an exciting workshop by
Aufuq Al Ebdaa, a community-based service provider that seeks to promote educational
training, advisory services, and research to create a sustainable environment for
success and achievement.
The workshop, entitled Tesla Electric Car, was conducted by Ms. Houida Saigh, an
instructor from Aufuq Al Ebdaa. The participating students were provided with an
exceptional opportunity to learn about clean energy and its importance in reducing
global warming caused by fossil fuel emissions.
Ms. Saigh began the workshop by introducing the concept of electric vehicles. She
explained that electric cars are powered by rechargeable batteries instead of petrol or
diesel fuel, making them an eco-friendly option. The highlight of the workshop was the
opportunity for the students to build their own battery-powered cars. They were provided
with a small solar-powered engine that converts the sun’s rays into energy. The activity
was not only informative but also fun, making it an excellent way for the students to
learn about clean energy.
Ms. Saigh shared her thoughts on the workshop, stating, “It was an excellent
experience to see the children so excited and eager to learn about clean energy and
electric cars. Aufuq Al Ebdaa has done an outstanding job in creating an educational
and fun workshop that promotes the use of clean energy and its importance in reducing
global warming caused by fossil fuel emissions.”
The Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival aims to educate and empower children through
engaging and informative workshops, and the “Tesla Electric Car” workshop was an
excellent addition to this effort. The hands-on activity was a great way to teach children
about clean energy and its importance in reducing global warming caused by fossil fuel
emissions.
