Our flagship programme, Megawatt, consists of an energy-based educational card game supported by a series of workshops. The object of the programme is to engage students on energy and sustainability through gamification and ethical debates.

By transitioning into a charity, the potential grants we can apply for increases significantly. This role has been created to take ownership of this grant pipeline as Megawatt scales up across the UK.
