South Jefferson FFA

Category: 2009-2010 L2S/RYD Site

FFA members developed a curriculum for educating their community about biodiesel creation, solar and wind energy.  In conjunction with their existing PALS program, students held regular classroom visits with local elementary students to educate them about renewable energy sources. A school research station was created to compare different aspects of wind power.  5th graders participated in an FFA-led project to create their own reversible fuel cell car.  Biodiesel was produced for experimentation in community vehicles and farm equipment.  Over 80 local students were engaged and educated by this project as part of a 3-year project to explore renewable energy options.
