Education levels
The Ecoplant Student Energy Program is fully inclusive; everyone can participate.
Age, education level, theoretical or practical: every talent counts, and there is a suitable program for everyone.
Primary Education – ‘Growth and Bloom’
In primary school, children are introduced to technology and sustainability in a playful way. Within the theme of Growth and Bloom, they learn about nature, energy, and the world around them. With Junior Solar, they discover how solar energy works and how you can apply it yourself. In the creative design modules, children devise and build their own ideas for a sustainable future. In this way, we plant the seed for technology and sustainability at an early age!
Secondary Education
In secondary education, Ecoplant caters to the interests of every student. Whether they are technical, creative, or strong in mathematics, there is always a project that suits the student. Within VMBO, students in different profiles can get started with our programs. We also offer challenging projects for HAVO and VWO students that focus on research, innovation, and sustainability. For example, we are a Best Friend of the Production, Installation, and Energy (PIE) profile and actively collaborate with the Technasium.
Secondary vocational education
The Student Energy Program fits perfectly into the continuous learning pathway from pre-vocational secondary education to secondary vocational education. This is also evident from the project in The Hague, where pre-vocational secondary education students are building the Ecoplant under the supervision of secondary vocational education students from ROC Mondriaan. These secondary vocational education students were themselves working on the construction of a solar car at the time and were able to incorporate various aspects of the Ecoplant into their own project.
University and College
For students at colleges and universities, Ecoplant opens doors to an international learning experience. They can contribute to the global data transition and participate in our student carousel, in which knowledge and experience are exchanged between countries and universities. In addition, we offer internships and research opportunities in our clubhouses around the world. This gives students the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge directly in practice while contributing to the energy transition.
