$250,000 Innovation Grant for Science

Innovation Grant presentation |
Kenston received a $250,000 federal Race to the Top Innovation Grant for solar energy and science education.
The new grant will fund the district's plan to install a 20-kilowatt solar photovoltaic array, which is a system of solar panels that convert sunlight to electricity. Smaller arrays will be installed for real time data evaluation, hands-on demonstration and as a clean energy resource for heating water.
Dr Lee said, "This grant enhances the district's efforts to Go Green. It is a great component to our renewable energy plan. Beyond the direct educational benefits of this grant, it will help to offset existing utility costs." |
