Energy is a fundamental aspect of our lives. It powers our homes, drives our transportation, and provides us with the resources we need to live, work, and play. In today’s world, energy has become an increasingly pressing issue, as demand for energy continues to grow and finite resources become scarce. This makes it more important than ever to understand the necessity of energy and the steps we can take to ensure a sustainable energy future. Institute of Energy and Youthpreneur Network came up with the idea of an energy carnival to encourage the innovative energy and potentiality of young and the mass of people who are interested in energy science and technology. We are going to create a platform where students from all over Bangladesh can show their potential and share their ideas about green and renewable energies.
