Dioramas – Electricity Distribution Landscapes

The Baw Baw Latrobe LLEN has 4 dioramas available for schools and community organisations to utilise. The “power grid” dioramas model the terrain through which a power line has to pass, they are complete with trees, roads, sacred sites, hills and lakes to make the task as realistic as possible. Using Blu Tack, cross arms, posts and wires the power lines must be constructed and tested.

Originally built by SP Ausnet, the dioramas were intended to give young people a greater insight into the power distribution industry and the variety of career pathways available in the industry.

The dioramas have many uses; your imagination is the limit. One popular activity is linked for you to view and use if appropriate. This particular activity involves students competing with each other to design and build the cheapest and most efficient transmission line between a power supply and a high rise office building.

The dioramas are available to schools, community organizations and careers expos to assist in improving young people’s understanding of the energy industry. There is no cost associated with the use of the dioramas. If you would like any further information on the dioramas or would like to book them for your school please contact Baw Baw Latrobe LLEN on 5633 2868 or by email: admin.bblllen@dcsi.net.au
