Global warming. Carbon footprints. Energy conservation - All part of every household’s vocabulary. Power Trip brings these current issues into the classroom and arms students with an understanding of how they affect their everyday lives.
All seriousness aside, our two kooky characters, Watty and Volt take students on an electrifying adventure with loads of slapstick laughs while learning about how to use energy efficiently and safely.
Assisted by the Ergonometer - part tour-guide, part time machine – our heroes discover Earth’s energy sources and real ways to reduce energy consumption at school and at home.
Power Trip was developed in partnership with Queensland Arts Council’s Production Partner Ergon Energy to communicate an important message about energy and how we use it.
Written and Directed by Brendon Kennedy.
