USGBC Central Pa Recognizes Students From Local Schools For Winning International Green Competition!

On Friday May 18, 2012 at Central Dauphin High School, representatives from USGBC Central Pa recognized students from CD HS and Infinity Charter School for their participation in an international green competition held by Phoenix Contact.  They were challenged with creating 'smart' charging stations for alternative energy vehicles.  CDHS created a solar bike charging station that will text your phone when the bike is fully charged and Infinity Charter School invented a solar tracking module to mount to the top of your hybrid vehicle for continuous charging of the cars battery.  The students recapped for the audience all that they learned through the design, build and presentation process as they traveled to Germany to present at the Hanover Fair.  Our chapter was proud to recognize the future engineers, builders and innovators of tomorrow.
