The Landesforschungszentrum Geothermie has been offering the Science Camp Our Earth in cooperation with the ZML for three years. We present different ways of using geothermal energy with experiments and illustrative material. This way you can form your own opinion on this topic. The results of the work will be documented in a presentation with the help of several iPads.

How can you get geothermal energy from the depths of the earth and convert it into electricity? Why is it warm at all in the depth?
The Science Camp Our Earth is all about these questions and you can discover the secrets of geothermal energy through your own experiments. You can use the following questions as a guide:
- Exploration - What is down there?
- How do we get down there?
- What processes take place at depth?
- How can geothermal energy be used to generate electricity?
- Geothermal energy and society, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the geothermal electricity generation?
You will also find out what can be learned about the geosciences through exciting experiments. In addition to your own experiments, we offer an excursion to a geothermal power plant in the region. There you can experience live how geothermal energy is used to generate electricity.
Furthermore, we provide an iPad for each group, with which presentations can be created.
Studying at KITClimate change, natural disasters, energy supply, water scarcity: Geoscientists deal with the urgent problems of our time. Is this interesting for you, too? Then geosciences at KIT could be the right study program for you!
