OffshoreWind4Kids

NOA TRAINING had a preview for companies and organizations in Nagasaki prefecture. Finally, the opening ceremony will be held next week on November 7. NOA TRAININGの県内企業向けの内覧会を行いました。いよいよ来週11/7は開所式です。

COVE is proud to partner with OffshoreWind4Kids to host the 2025 Nova Scotia Floating Wind Challenge, a key initiative in building future capabilities and developing a skilled workforce needed to support Nova Scotia’s ambitious offshore wind energy goals. As the province seeks to triple its current energy output through offshore wind, this challenge provides post-secondary students with hands-on experience in sustainable energy, encouraging them to pursue careers in this growing industry. Students from across Nova Scotia, Canada, are invited to design a floating support structure for a Vevor 400W turbine, competing for cash prizes and the opportunity to represent Nova Scotia internationally in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. The local challenge will take place in the Halifax Regional Municipality between February 17th and 23rd, 2025 (date and location to be confirmed). To learn more, join our virtual kickoff event this Friday, October 25th, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., where industry leaders will provide insights and answer questions. This event will be recorded for those unable to attend. 🔗 Kickoff event registration: https://lnkd.in/enHcF4H2 🔗 Local challenge registration: https://lnkd.in/ecB2sNx6 Through initiatives like this, COVE is equipping the next generation with the skills and knowledge needed to meet the future demands of the global offshore wind industry. Special thank you to RBC Tech for Nature for supporting this challenge.

Op dinsdag 10 september vond de Offshore Experience 2024 plaats in Den Helder, met als thema ‘Healthy Energy’. Dit evenement bracht experts, bedrijven en jonge generaties samen om de toekomst van duurzame energie te verkennen. 🧭 Voor 200 leerlingen van de Blue Schools was er een speciaal programma met workshops van het Noordzeespel en OffshoreWind4Kids, waar ze spelenderwijs kennis maakten met duurzame energie en uitdagingen rondom de maritieme sector. 100 Mbo-studenten namen deel aan serious games en minicolleges door experts, waardoor ze waardevolle inzichten opdeden in de uitdagingen en kansen van de offshore-industrie. Hoe denk jij dat we jonge generaties nog beter kunnen betrekken bij de uitdagingen en innovaties in de offshore-industrie? 🚢💡 #OffshoreExperience2024 #HealthyEnergy #Duurzaamheid #GroeneEconomie #BlauweEconomie #Vonk #VonkBlueSchools #SmartFuture https://lnkd.in/e93yJG-D

The number of #renewable energy jobs worldwide shot up by 18% last year. Prioritizing the development of a skilled energy sector #workforce is vital for progress in the #energy transition.

𝐃𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐤𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐝𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐞𝐤𝐨𝐦𝐬𝐭𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟! 🤩 Dat is wat 2000 kinderen van groep 8 van de basisscholen in Gemeente Velsen, Gemeente Heemskerk en Gemeente Beverwijk deze week ervaren tijdens de Techport Technologieweek. Met hulp van Wind4Kids laten we de leerlingen de wereld van #windopzee ontdekken. Dit doen we samen met Vattenfall, CrossWindHKN en TenneT TSO B.V. Jij kan hier ook bij zijn! Op donderdagavond 10 oktober van 19.00 tot 21.00 uur is Sporthal de Walvis in Beverwijk namelijk open voor ouders met hun kinderen. Kom samen de wondere wereld van techniek ervaren en neem nieuwe kennis en inspiratie mee naar huis.💡 Aanmelden kan hier: https://lnkd.in/eQtHU3fe

In addition to industry guest lectures, our University of Melbourne students in CVEN90071 Offshore Wind Geotechnical Engineering also get to enjoy various hand-on activities. During a recent practical session, they conducted T-bar and piezocone penetrometer tests, gaining valuable experience in data interpretation. Additionally, our students enjoyed an engaging field trip to Port Melbourne Beach, where they installed various fixed-bottom and floating #offshorewind foundations. These experiences not only reinforce theoretical knowledge but also foster practical skills that prepare our students for future careers in the offshore wind industry.

What's the best and most fun way to learn? Hands on! The University of Western Australia's OCEN2001 Energy from oceans students exploring #offshorewind. Thanks also to the developers who joined to answer questions and give a practical perspective.

𝐔𝐮𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! 🎬 Diese Woche haben wir mit unserem 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐤𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 in Kooperation mit OffshoreWind4Kids𝐬 an der 𝐆𝐚𝐮ß-𝐀𝐆 der Leibniz Universität Hannover teilgenommen 👩🏼🏫🧪⚡. Die Teilnehmer:innen haben unsere Miniatur-Windenergieanlagen aufbauen und im 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥 des Ludwig-Franzius-Institute for Hydraulic, Estuarine and Coastal Engineering testen dürfen 🌊. Dabei haben wir unsere schwimmenden Fundamente auf Herz und Nieren geprüft 🩺. Gar nicht so schlecht würden wir sagen 🥽. Ein besonderer Dank gilt Eva Maria Mentzel für Ihre grandiose Organisation und Herrn 𝐃𝐫.-𝐈𝐧𝐠. 𝐏𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐳𝐨, der für uns besonders große Wellen gemacht hat 😉. Gerne wieder ❤️

🗣️’’5.41 volts. You tilt the blades to get the right angle.” Lewis and Ronnie age 9. The Equinor team are kicking off a range of activities around Norfolk, starting with 1st Mulbarton Cubs. Huge thanks to Ross McMillan from the Greater Wash base for getting the kids inspired for their scientist badge: 💨 Measuring wind speed with an anemometer 👷Constructing turbines with Wind for Kids kits from Skills for Energy 📐Pacing out the huge scale of a blade 🐟 Discussing why we work with Marine Biologists 🧗Trying on a real tech’s (decommissioned) climbing kit ⚡️Testing how many volts our turbines generate 🔧 Handling a real cable 🛳️ Running around in a maritime themed game! They asked tricky questions like: How much do you earn? What’s the best food on the SOV? How fast does the wind have to blow to break a turbine? What does it cost to buy a turbine? It was great to see an energetic group of kids enthralled in their task, building a wind farm in the scout hut. Thank you to Suzanne Allen (Greening) for sharing your Skills for Energy kit from EEEGR (East of England Energy Group) including the brilliant OffshoreWind4Kids resources.

Vandaag een topdag gehad in Beverwijk! Deze week is de technologieweek waar word geprobeerd (en in word geslaagd) om jonge kinderen te enthousiasmeren voor de prachtige wereld van de techniek. Samen met mijn collega's van Vattenfall Sidney van Dijk en Denise van Hoek , en de prachtige presentatie van Wind4Kids verzorgd door Dr Ir William Beuckelaers hebben de kids miniatuur windmolens gebouwd en deze vervolgens op de proef gesteld. Het doet me goed om een verschil te kunnen maken in de indruk die de jongere generatie heeft van de techniek! Ook dank aan TenneT en AYOP (Offshore Energy Association) voor de meewerking en aanwezigheid bij deze en natuurlijk de vorige events.
