Madison Wolfe Presents at Student Project Exhibition

2017 Nov 21

Madison Wolfe, from Ballston Spa High School, is a student in the Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School (Clean Tech ECHS) program. Madison, Class of 2018, participated in the first student project exhibition of the school year on November 8, 2017. Madison created an innovative solution to a real world problem they identified. Madison will develop a business plan and prototype throughout the school year to compete in the New York State Business Plan Competition, sponsored by the Center for Economic Growth. Over 200 people from families, teachers, school counselors and administrators, civic leaders, and our partners in business, industry, higher education, and non-profit and government agencies attended the event to see future leaders present their student projects addressing real world issues.

Ballston Spa Central School District, along with its higher education and business partners, currently operates the highly successful Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School (ECHS), a program that prepares students for college and careers in the fields of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and advanced technology including semi-conductor manufacturing. The mission of the program is to develop and support pathways to higher education that lead to careers in STEM fields through rigorous academic programming and a collaborative approach to learning. Starting in 2014-2015, The Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries ECHS is a NYS P-TECH program that provides students a distinct opportunity to earn an Associate's Degree while preparing them to seamlessly transition into key industry sectors within our economic region.
