(Pottsville, PA) – The EIP created “The Alternative Energy Event” featuring a solar powered car designed by Penn State University-Hazleton engineering students and built by local high school students, along with a robotics demonstration. This event debuted at the Pine Grove Area Elementary School and High School Career Fairs. The solar car was featured at the Northeast PA Manufacturers and Employers Council, Inc. Schuylkill County Career Fair on March 24th, the Wallenpaupack Area School District on April 21st and Forest City High School on May 6th. Dr. Wes Grebski of PSU Hazleton developed an educational presentation that meets the PA Academic Standards for Science and Technology that accompanied the demonstration of the solar car.
