Introducing Energy Explorers – a fun and educational activity book for kids!

We are delighted to announce the launch of MainPower’s newest resource, Energy Explorers! This vibrant and engaging activity book is designed to teach children about energy in a fun and interactive way.

Energy Explorers is an activity book created by MainPower to help kids learn about electricity. It is packed with fun puzzles, engaging activities, and colourful illustrations that make learning about energy exciting and fun.

From understanding how electricity is generated to discovering simple ways to conserve and stay safe around energy at home, Energy Explorers covers it all in a kid-friendly format.

Through Energy Explorers, we hope to inspire children to think about energy use and discover the role they can play in creating a more sustainable future.

Energy Explorers also aligns with our MPowered Future strategy to have an engaged community and create a sustainable future.

Energy Explorers will soon be rolled out to some schools across our region! Helping the kids of North Canterbury to be energy-wise and safe around electricity, one puzzle at a time.
