Physics Project to Minimize Greenhouse Energy Use & Increase Production

Physics students have launched a project that centers around designing and renovating our school's greenhouses to minimize energy use while also maximizing production and learning.

Abbie Castriotta, Greenhouse Manager and CRAFT Teaching Assistant, lead a tour of our three greenhouses followed by a presentation of design goals, programmatic needs, budget, and inspirational resources.

Tim Brennan will facilitate the exploration and application of scientific concepts coupled with the design cycle to help students actualize solutions. This type of interdisciplinary learning is exactly what CRAFT is all about-fostering Community and Climate Resilience through Agriculture, Forestry, and Technology.
