The Ecoplant Junior is an ideal and interactive start to the Student Energy Program. Each student receives a complete construction kit with wooden parts, a solar panel, a battery, motor, and light sensors—everything needed to build their own miniature version of the Ecoplant (approximately 20 cm high).

During the construction process, students learn step by step how solar energy works and how technology can help to use this energy more efficiently. The result? A fully functional model that, just like a real solar tracker, automatically follows the sun. As soon as sunlight hits the panel, the battery charges and the light comes on. The Ecoplant Junior is a fun, tangible warm-up for the broader teaching project and ensures direct involvement in themes such as sustainability, energy, and technology.

What the student learns:

• Sustainable innovation is cool.
• Basic principles of solar energy and electricity.
• The effect of sun tracking on yield.
• Building and applying.
• Working independently and being successful.
