This free online resource hub has activities and lessons aligned to the B.C. curriculum. Engine Digital designed the platform with limited connection speed in mind while also providing offline assets to accommodate schools with limited resources. During the school year, the platform runs four campaigns: Earth Day, Water Week, Electrical Safety Day and Boost Your Power Smarts. Reminiscent of old school days, Engine Digital also created papercraft models and built-out scenes that reflect the campaign theme: a bee, a sea otter, powerlines, solar panels, Dave (BC Hydro’s mascot), an electric car and a hydro dam. In 2018–2019, teacher participation increased by 142% and school participation grew by 31.8%.
