Seniors in the Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School program presented their Solar Needs projects to experts in the field on Wednesday, March 27th at Hudson Valley Community College's North Campus. Students identified a solution to a local or global human need using solar energy and created an interactive model to represent their idea. Students were provided with a hypothetical budget and in their presentations had to address the financial feasibility of the plan, logistical feasibility, the solution to the problem using solar energy, cultural considerations, and the projected impact on stakeholders. Evaluators in attendance included representatives from the Building Performance Institute, Department of Environmental Conservation, Fosterra, Guth DeConzo Consulting Engineers, and Hudson Valley Community College.
