On October 10th Western Wayne High School Students in grade 9 experienced the THINK! ENERGY Innovation Program. This program is an interactive, hands-on presentation with a take home energy efficiency kit for each participating student and teacher. The program teaches the importance of energy, natural resources and environmental resources, and gives each participating student’s family energy-efficient technologies to install at home. Students and Staff in the high school received innovation kits on October 10th. The kits included faucet aerators, , a furnace filter whistle, a water conserving shower head, three LED light bulbs as well an advanced smart energy power strip. 136 innovation kits were distributed overall. This comes to 5230 new LED bulbs distributed to the Western Wayne School District since the program’s launch in 2015.
This program will also result in a number of mini grants for the teachers in the high school as well.
