Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley Celebrated Solar Power Project in Kerby
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley held a celebratory "Switch-On" event last week as its new solar power installation on the Illinois Valley clubhouse in Kerby is complete.
Board members, community members and special guests joined representatives from Pacific Power, which helped fund the installation through a Blue Sky award.
The event featured a mock switch-on celebration as the panels already had been generating electricity since last December.
As part of their ongoing support in STEAM education and career-based learning in after-school programs, Pacific Power representatives assisted club members in a hands-on STEAM project focused on renewable energy.
STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math.
