Why did EDF Energy launch the Pod?

The Pod was launched in September 2008 to help EDF Energy meet its sustainability commitment of engaging with 2.5 million children by 2012 in learning about the sustainable use of energy - a target met two years ahead of schedule at the end of 2010.

Skills and Careers on the Pod

We really hope that the Pod will help children of all ages to become interested in science and science-related subjects. EDF Energy is developing a number of initiatives and programmes aimed at helping young people find a career in science and engineering. More details coming soon.

On-line magazines

As well as all the great activities, resources and games on the Pod, each term we publish our interactive on-line magazine for students which is emailed to all of our registered teachers as well as to County Councils and Local Authorities who have asked to be kept up to date with Pod news and information.
