EduGrid workshop participants together with renewable energy teaching kits
Hands-on learning. Shared knowledge.

About us / EduGrid

Education is a right,
not a privilege.

We make renewable energy something you can understand, build and explore.

We are a nonprofit initiative providing hands-on educational kits focused on renewable energy and sustainability. Our goal is to make energy literacy accessible, engaging and practical.

The idea

A small kit.
A world of understanding.

Real experiments connect the science in a textbook to the energy systems around us.

Our open-source, 3D-printable kits explore photovoltaics, wind, hydro, grids and storage. Designed for students aged 14–18, they combine practical experiments with student handbooks and teaching resources.

Developed in the university environment at TU Munich, the materials draw on experience in scientific communication and teaching. They are designed to be affordable, reproducible and adaptable.

Our journey

From an idea
to the classroom.

  1. 2017–2022

    Exploring the concept

    Camps in Zimbabwe, India and Nepal helped shape the first ideas across very different school settings.

  2. 2023–2024

    Designing the materials

    Structured syllabuses, lesson plans and textbooks took shape with contributions from TUM students.

  3. 2025

    Learning together in Ghana

    A week-long renewable energy camp for 12 high-school students in Kumasi brought the kits and teaching resources into practice.
