The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) is inviting youth to enjoy interactive workshops at the 69th National Science and Technology Fair running through August 23 at Impact Muang Thong Thani, Building 11. Suphachai Kunsaetthi, EGAT's assistant governor for research, innovation, and business development, officially opened the EGAT exhibition under the theme "Innovate Power Solutions for a Better Life." The event runs from August 15–23, 2025, with Peeranuch Kanhadilok, director of the Natural Science Academy and Museum, attending the ceremony.

EGAT is sharing knowledge about science, technology, and energy innovation with youth and the public through eight exhibition groups featuring diverse research and innovations: clean energy technology including small modular reactors and floating solar hydro systems; the Energy Savings Label Level 5 program; electric vehicles and charging stations; grid modernization; second-life battery ecosystems; LANDMOS, a real-time landslide monitoring system for Mae Mao Mine; EGAT Ash Nova, which converts coal fly ash into alternative construction materials; and EGAT SCADA X, a digital-era power system control and monitoring innovation.

Inside the EGAT booth, nearly 10 interactive activities and workshops allow children and young people to learn about energy and discover EGAT through play. These include energy bingo, EGAT trivia games, and "Mini Popsicle Flashlight," a hands-on activity teaching electrical circuit principles with the chance to win souvenirs from the ENGY Shop. EGAT's energy exhibition serves not merely as a display space but as a learning and inspiration hub, demonstrating how science, technology, and innovation can build a better energy future and spark young people's curiosity to invent and develop innovations further.
