Getting More from H2AC

In addition to learning to work together to complete a complex, long-term engineering project, students are exposed to many different technologies related to renewable energy through lab activities and reading materials.
Pre- and post-event studies allow for comparison of student and teacher experiences and the ability to measure the impact and overall effects of the H2AC experience.  Our studies show that students who complete the H2AC are more likely to attend college, major in STEM fields and pursue relevant careers in new and booming sectors.
