Discover how real-time weather data and storytelling can empower you to spark change and shape Geelong’s clean energy future.

The global impact of climate change and our transition to renewable energies fuels our need to understand its impacts and the opportunity to play a crucial role in the solution. The EcoData program uses live data collected from weather stations allowing students to investigate the viability of wind and solar power as an energy source in the Geelong area. They will use the power of data storytelling and visualisation to communicate key insights to increase understanding and inspiring change.
