What We Have Done
So far, we have done several things to promote our group. One such thing was the Showcase Night at Rachel Carson Middle School on April 2, 2009. During that night, families of the students who are enrolled at the school were invited to come and see different presentations from groups of students. One of those groups was ours. We were able to talk to hundreds of parents, students, and community members about our project. It was a great way to get the word out.
We applied for numerous grants and participated in several contests, and raised enough money to install an eleven panel array, which began contributing electricty to our school on December 27th, 2010. We are currently trying to raise more money to enlarge our system.
