Camden County Middle School issued the following announcement on July 20.
We have some exciting news! With the generous support of NC GreenPower’s Solar + Schools initiative, we have an opportunity to create an onsite renewable energy lab experience for our students. With this grant, we will receive a 3-5kW solar array, weather station, real-time monitoring of data including our carbon footprint reduction and how much energy is produced, and grade level curriculum and hands-on activities from The National Energy Education Development (NEED) for the solar array. This renewable energy lab will allow our students to learn about technologies such as solid state batteries and perovskite crystals, found today in ultrasound machines, memory chips, and solar cells. Our teachers will also receive professional development on incorporating the solar array and its data into hand-on lessons. The grant is worth $42,000 all together.
We are asking for your help. In order to receive this package, we are required to raise a portion of the money. The amount we need to raise is $12,000. We are hoping you will see what a great opportunity this is for our students and find it in your heart to donate money towards our portion.
