Energy garden for kids
Subtitle: Sunny Games
Using energy, knowing about energy generation, its practical implementation and application, have become burning issues requiring expert approaches today and tomorrow. This is why raising young people's awareness for and education about the production, application and types or sources of energy makes sense and should be provided in a meaningful and memorable way. Playing is a natural instinct, so learning how to deal with energy properly should be pursued in a playful and funny manner. This is why an "energy garden for kids" will be built in the Upper Austrian Hausruck region to serve as a showcase model.
On March 25, 2010 the Upper Austrian Award for Environment and Nature 2009 was awarded to Dr. Oskar Steinmair Senior Management Service in Ungenach for the project "Restoration of the Trattnach river source at Geboltskirchen".
The price was accepted by the new successor team of Dr. Steinmair & Partners Consulting Engineers GmbH.
