During the first semester of Tenth Grade, in English Speech and Composition 3 class, students were assigned a sustainable project based on renewable sources to demonstrate the importance of environmental sustainability for innovative forms of energy. At Rochester School, the community focuses on the future of our generation with the environment in mind. Students learn about the importance of sustainability and how being a systemic citizen influences daily activities.
Students understand how the dramatic and devastating consequences of global warming and climate change can influence our integral health. Therefore, a project called "Powering My Future" uses diverse subjects to comprehend and participate in innovative useful sources of renewable energy as alternatives to preserve a long-lasting life in our only home. Students used Rochester School's virtues and incredible schools to find alternatives to sustainable energy sources. Students were asked to take charge of their project using easily accessible or recyclable materials, demonstrating the real-life application and how they would help create a better planet.
The project demonstrates the importance of sustainable energy and how, in real life context, these skills help us create a new future for the next generations. This project had a clear relationship with Rochester School and its LEED certification as it showed the concept of sustainability and how climate change and global warming are slowly becoming more serious matters that can damage life as we know it.
Additionally, diverse Rochester School virtues were evidenced. For starters, the concept of Systemic Citizenship and taking into account Me, Others, and the Context through effective innovative projects to make our society a better place. Cooperation and collaboration were seen for a group goal of integral health for our well-being, avoiding waste, and finding new alternatives for renewable resources as non-renewable sources are slowly running out. This project was a creative and useful way of succeeding and generating a difference.
