ABOUT ABOUT

Hello,

We would like to invite you to a student-led event at the Navy Yard this summer.

Please consider saving the date (Aug 7) for an event that will feature student presentations and poster sessions about their research and internship projects accomplished through the pilot Immersive Summer Experience in Energy and Sustainable Business that has taken place through funding from the Reinvention Fund and the GridSTAR Center.

Projects featured include efforts by students from Penn State’s Abington, Berks, Brandywine, Hazelton, and University Park campuses. These students have been matched with various organizations throughout the Philadelphia region including Solar Grid Storage, CertainTeed, UMC-Power, NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association), and several Penn State initiatives.

  1. Outreach program to homeowners and sustainable businesses
  2. Research projects with large firms and start-ups in sustainable energy projects
  3. New research and teaching system built by student-faculty teams
