Current and Potential Project Ideas

The Sustainable Fitness Project aims to combine fitness with education by generating electricity during workouts. Partnering with AFC, we'll implement energy-generating stationary bikes, turning exercise into a learning experience about energy value. The project includes grant proposals, timelines, budgets, educational materials, and metrics for success. Future expansions may include retrofitting elliptical machines and increasing funding. Additionally, we envision creating an "Education in a Box" initiative for students to enhance their interests in science and technology, alongside solar panel installations and community gardening projects.
