Book Launch: The Energy Adventures of Tommy and Remi
Future Energy Systems is proud to present The Energy Adventures of Tommy and Remi, an educational children's book series. Tommy and Remi, energy adventurers, explore the world of energy and climate change in search of ways to make a difference.
In their debut adventure, The Mystery of the Glowing Light, they charge into the shocking world of electricity and the electrical grid. With the help of their science consultant Reginald and new friend Nik, they learn how electricity is generated and transmitted all the way into their homes. They also learn how they can reduce how much electricity they use!
Join the creative team behind this series on Thursday, 23 September, 2021 as they launch the first adventure with Tommy the dog and Remi the cat, who are investigating the mysteries of the electric grid. A reading of the book will be followed by a Q and A. The team will also share many online resources to go along with the book.
This event is presented in partnership with the Edmonton Public Library as part of Science Literacy Week 2021, which runs concurrently with Energy Week.
