On Monday, November 4, 2019, students enrolled at the North Campus of Schuylkill Technology Center installed two 20 foot, 600 watt LabVolt Wind Turbines in conjunction with National STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math) week.
The project includes the combined efforts of the Masonry students, who poured the cement foundation and the Electro-Mechanical Technology students who will install the turbine.
