Northview Plans For Wind Turbine, Solar Car Grant Project

November 7, 2017

Northview High School was recently awarded a $4,800 grant from the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation (ECPS), part of nearly $100,000 in 2017-2018 Grants for Excellence to teams from 21 Escambia County School District schools.

Northview’s project — “Bridges, The Wind, and The Sun: We Build, We Analyze, We Harness” — will consist of students building bridges, wind turbines, and solar powered cars out of kits.  The students will also analyze the electrical output of the wind turbines and solar power cards, and there may also be a solar car race in the works.

The 17-member Northview team that will oversee the project, including math and science teachers, met Monday morning as implementation plans are made.
