Spreading the Word on Clean Energy

This past weekend, the UVI Green Technology Center and Department of Education hosted the first of two Energy Fairs this month on the UVI Campus. VIMSIA was well represented on many fronts, with Mr. Bornn and Lindsay Barr, Senior PGIA Student, staffing a booth that highlighted the sustainability efforts that have been developed on VIMSIA’s campus over the past 15 years.

“Helping at the fair and teaching other people actually taught me more about VIMSIA than I had ever known before,” says Lindsay. “There are so many things going on beneath the surface of our school that I haven’t even thought about.”

UVI Energy Fair October 2022 - VIMSIA Presentation

The event was organized by Ms. Ariel Stolz, Research Scientist at UVI Caribbean Green Technology Center. Ariel is a VIMSIA alumna from the Class of 2013, and in just the second class of IB graduates from VIMSIA—she’s truly one of our pioneer students for the IB program!

Ariel went on to Brown University for her Engineering degree, and then Carnegie Mellon University for her Masters in Energy Science Technology and Policy. We couldn’t be more proud of her. Shout-out to women in science! Go Ariel!

The next Energy Fair will be held on October 30th.
