On Monday, February 4, 2025, students in Mrs. Voicu’s AP Environmental Science (APES) class presented their redesigned sustainable projects. Over the past week, these students have been hard at work brainstorming, designing, and building models of sustainable farms and cities to address real-world environmental problems that the class has been studying.
This project allowed students to apply their knowledge of sustainable energy, waste management, and urban planning to create eco-friendly communities. Each group presented their designs, explaining the innovative features that made their projects more efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable. The overarching question they aimed to answer was: How do we reduce the impacts of urbanization on the future of our planet? Click here to read the full article on The Tartan.
