UngEnergi
In 2013 UngEnergi successfully created a stable platform
for the website The project group consist-
ing of youths between 16-22, had partly achieved reaching
the goal to create a website around sustainable energy for
high-school students. A broad spectre of information about
renewable energy was now easily accessible for the target
group. Backed by CenSES and various other contributors,
the project was headed with full speed into 2014.
With a goal to keep developing the website in 2014, the
project group started creating material that could be more
directed towards the teachers. This is a method the group
decided would be the best way to reach out to the largest
possible crowd. Getting the website to be accepted into
schools had previously been a challenge.

Ung Energi at Trondheim Maker Faire
The main innovation UngEnergi introduced to the website
in 2014, was a section speci cally made for teachers.
Material that could be used directly into class was pub-
lished, and instantly received positive feedback, both from
students and teachers. This material consists mainly around
fully developed project “packages” that teachers can use in
tutoring. These packages contain “how-to” videos, nished
power-point presentations and tasks around the package
theme. Examples of such themes vary from an easy-to-build
wind turbine, to a sun-powered charger for a mobile phone.
Another important step marketing the website, was the
presence of the project group at seminars and gatherings,
both for teachers and various crowds, for example “Trond-
heim Maker Faire”, “Forskningstorget” and “Opplærings-
dagan”. This proved to be a great way to improve visitor
numbers, and leap in the use of the website was detected.
At the end of 2014, the project group reached a collective
goal towards 2015, where an agreement to keep develop-
ing “packages”was the most important priority. Also the
challenge of keeping the website up-to-date around cur-
rent news, is to be prioritized.
