HOMEWOOD Greenhouse for Year-Round Growing Through a Pitt Year of Engagement Grant (written by Ellie Cadden MCSI Sustainability Engagement Assistant and interns Gabby Sampson and Anna Coleman), Dr. David Sanchez will be able to expand his work with the Oasis Project and Pitt Hydroponics. A new greenhouse will enable the expansion of the growing season, offer new growing space for Pitt Hydroponics and provide new educational opportunities. Construction and initial use of the greenhouse also serves as a volunteer opportunity for students.
IEEE and the Ruach Bicycle Club MCSI Faculty Fellow, Bob Kerestes, working with the IEEE Power and Energy Society Student Chapter will be mentoring youth to learn the mechanical aspects of a bike and how to use the mechanical energy generated from their bike to charge a mini led headlights. This project is through a collaboration with the Homewood Community Engagement Center and the Ruach Bicycle Club.
