The children found points of connection through mapping their daily journeys to school, as well as mapping the journeys many of them had taken to settle in Reading.
Workshop 3: Wind Power
The children discovered they had a natural resource of their own: wind power.
Workshop 4: Pedal Power
The children discovered they could power electronic equipment with their own pedal power.
