Our robotics teams had an AMAZING day of learning and exploration! 🤖🦅
We visited Apex Clean Energy, where students learned about renewable energy, sustainability, and how clean energy projects can support biodiversity and conservation. We even got a peek inside their control room and met with scientists and professionals working on exciting projects across Virginia and beyond!
Then we headed to Carter Mountain Orchard for apple picking, a hayride, cider donuts, and a special Apple School lesson about the spotted lanternfly and its impact on Virginia agriculture. 🍎
From wind energy to bats, fish, and invasive species, our students are discovering how science, technology, and innovation can help solve real-world problems.
A HUGE thank-you to our friends at Apex Clean Energy and Carter Mountain Orchard for making this such a memorable experience! ❤️
