My Project

Our school has two school forests that we utilize for outdoor learning. One is located about two blocks away while another is more dense and located about a half a mile away.

Both offer a unique experience in the urban core as the concrete jungle of Saint Paul has unique parks dedicated to embracing nature's beauty.

We want to inspire students to go out in the woods and understand how technology can keep them safe with the Garmin and can keep tech charged with the solar panel and battery bank.
