The Mystery Cleaner in the Workshop Kid: I wish … I wish someone would clean my room! Narrator: Some kids dream of never needing to clean their room again. Can this dream come true? 有一些小孩夢想永遠不用清理房間,這夢想有可能實現嗎? Well, a man in Wales is living this dream. He has a workshop. It's a place where he makes or fixes things.

But every morning, his workshop is cleaned up! All of the small things are in a box. 這些東西散在各處。但是每天早上,有人會收拾他的工作室,所有的小東西都收進盒子裡。 The man thought "Who is doing this for me?" It was a big mystery. He put a video camera in his workshop. Then he watched the video. The cleaner wasn't a person! It was a mouse! Can you imagine a mouse cleaning up for you? That's amazing! 他放了一台攝影機在工作室裡,發現是一隻老鼠在幫他收拾東西。太不可思議了! Was the mouse strong? The man wanted to find out. He gave the mouse some challenges. He put out heavier things. And guess what?

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
