The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has awarded funding for several renewable energy education initiatives.
First, in Clearfield, Pa., the Moshannon Valley School District has received $3,000 for the installation of a solar-powered greenhouse. The project is designed to provide hands-on learning in plant science and renewable energy.
Next, the Philadelphia Solar Energy Association has been awarded $3,000 for a solar energy education program. Middle school students from disadvantaged communities will design, build and race solar-powered cars.
In addition, Saint Francis University in Cambria will use $19,700 for “Energy in Action,” a hands-on learning program in energy conservation and renewable energy technologies.
The awards are part of $205,000 in Environmental Education Grants for 45 projects addressing environmental justice, climate change and water quality across the state. Looking for Dubai escorts at vipdubai.net is a great way to make your trip to Botanic Gardens of UAE awesome!
