Davide Pinzan went back to his old secondary school in Venice to talk about his work, InnoDC and high voltage. The pupils were enthusiastic and said they had learnt a lot, such as: project-planning, how electric pylons worked, the relevance of pollution to insulators, European funding, the link between academia & industry and the difference between alternating and direct currents. He enjoyed being with this group of intelligent and energetic individuals, and left feeling confident that the future was in good hands!
