Juniors in the Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School Program submitted their research paper on a global challenge, why it's a problem, and their proposed solution.  Students whose papers were accepted attended the New York Youth Institute World Food Prize conference at Cornell University on Friday, March 22nd.  Students were designated as Borlaug Scholars.  They presented their research and recommendations on their ways to solve key global challenges.  Students had the opportunity to connect with other student leaders from the state, as well as interact with global leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs to brainstorm ideas on how to end hunger, poverty, and improve food security around the world.  Based on this experience and presentation of their speeches, students may be selected to serve as delegates to the Global Youth Institute in Iowa.  More information on the New York Youth Institute can be found here.  For more information on the Early College High School Program, please contact ECHS Coordinator, Adrienne Snow, asnow@bscsd.org.
