Kids harnessing sun and wind power

Did you know we can use the Sun and wind to create power? You can’t see the energy created, but we can show you what it can do. 

Come to the WA Museum – Kalgoorlie-Boulder these school holidays to see how the Sun can be used to cook some food! See the effect wind can have on your creations, and the energy used by some of the objects on display.
