Friendship Tech Prep Academy Student Energy Projects
On November 20, 2009, under the auspices of the Alliance to Save Energy and Guerilla Educators students at Friendship Tech Prep Academy conducted energy conservation projects at their school in the Anacostia section of Washington, DC. Every student learned about energy use and conservation, then every student was able to actually test for, hands-on, and gather data around wattage, light levels, temperature, and energy loads of incandescent, cfl, and led bulbs. This took an extraordinary degree of commitment, cooperation, and collaboration on the part of the admin team and those hard working teachers and really demonstrates the effective leadership of Principal Natalie Gordon and Vice Principal Widelene Desarmes that makes Tech Prep an oasis of academic and social stability in a very challenging neighborhood.
Special thanks to the Alliance's Emily Curley whose hard work made this extraordinary day possible.

Fantastic to watch this, my good friend. You know seeing these kids makes me mad-crazy with 'missing' them...but I'm also digging what has been going on since I was last 'in the neighborhood'. Keep up the great G.E. work!

Thanks, Christian. Of course you were the catalyst that connected me to Friendship Schools so, in a sense, you are also a part of this.
