Shining a light on students in need, this Science In Our Community program is a partnership with the PG&E Solar Suitcase program through We Care Solar. The program enhances the learning of green energy sources and helps middle school students develop their own solar systems. The student-built systems are then deployed to areas lacking electrical utilities, generally to schools and refugee camps. In addition, middle school students learn the global aspect of energy access as well as the social issues that accompany this subject. More information can be found at the PG&E Solar Suitcase site and in recent articles in the Turlock Journal and Modesto Bee.
