🎉 Huge shoutout to our amazing student scientists who took 3rd place in the "Take Action" program hosted by the Roseville Utilities Exploration Center! 💡⚡

They spent a week working on an energy project where they built a solar-powered boat using solar panels, a motor, a propeller, and a few water bottles 🌞🚤. Then, they created a video on how to save electricity in everyday spaces—coming up with the smart idea of using motion sensor lights to reduce energy waste. 👏💡

We're proud of all our students who participated in this inspiring program, and we're thankful for our Science staff for encouraging, guiding, and celebrating every step of their journey. 🧪🌍 Thank you for helping our students shine! ✨
