Last spring, while students were disheartened by not being able to compete in the Energy Innovation Challenge, they put their knowledge and passion toward applying for the NEED (National Energy Education Development) Project grant. Students wrote a big portion of the grant narrative and gathered data from our school division to create a greater school and community awareness of solar and sustainable energy sources. The new solar panels were installed this fall and students enrolled in the Energy Pathway Courses are able to access real-time data to complete class projects and continue to educate their peers and parents about solar energy.
