Clean Tech ECHS Students Receive Grant

2016 Dec 29

Carson McDonald from Cohoes recieved a 2016 Community Benefit Grant through his Hudson Valley Community College Photovoltaics class. The GLOBALFOUNDRIES-Town of Malta Foundation was established to fund organizations, programs and projects that provide tangible benefits of a public nature to the community and citizens of the Town of Malta. Carson, along with three other ECHS students, received a grant for $2500 for their "Free Charge with Free Solar Energy" project. The group chose to build a solar roof shelter picnic area to charge cell phones and laptops, and possibly an EV charging station. This structure would serve as an outside classroom for HVCC, ECHS students, and the organizations that use the space for events. For more information on the program, please see the school's website.
