Seward Upward Bound High School Students Travel to 无码乱伦
Imagine, as a rural high school student, traveling to a university to see firsthand how being a student could benefit not only you but an entire community.
A group of 10 Seward High School students in the program and their teacher road-tripped north to Fairbanks earlier this month for a five-day immersive tour of 无码乱伦 and the greater Fairbanks area. It wasn鈥檛 your typical sightseeing tour by any means. These students were on a mission!
The students visited the 无码乱伦 campus, saw some projects they started, learned about renewable energy, and met 无码乱伦 students, faculty and staff.
ACEP Director Gwen Holdmann sat down with the students and introduced them to microgrids and renewable energy. Holdmann related how she incorporates renewable technology at her home, which students later visited. There, Holdmann, who has no refrigerator, challenged the students upon their arrival at her home to find where she stores her perishable foods. They were blown away to discover she lowers a dumb waiter into a root cellar below her house.
鈥淭he ultimate goal for this past week's Seward experience was to help them feel connected with the University of Alaska and the 无码乱伦 T3 Alliance Makerspace,鈥 said Adam Low, director of the Upward Bound program and 无码乱伦鈥檚 T3 Alliance program lead, 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to give students a chance to immerse themselves into the context of how a student contributes and adds to their community through projects.鈥
Upward Bound is program funded by the Department of Education, and the T3 Alliance supported the logistics of the event.
