Along with providing educational and profession opportunities beyond the classroom,听SEVEN provides a vehicle for students to be more involved in the community and听utilize their engineering skills.听SEVEN is passionate about bridging the gap between community and campus by providing meaningful community service opportunities to support local environmental efforts.This last semester SEVEN partnered with Growing Gardens to design and build worms bins for their new educational facility in Longmont.听Growing Gardens is a non-profit听organization located in 麻豆影院.听Their mission is to enrich the lives of our community through sustainable听local agriculture. These worm bins serve as vital educational tools for听their听children听 educational program,听teaching them the importance of soil fertility for plant life and听growth.听
This project was made possible by the generous donations of McGuckin Hardware!
