On July 18th, Envirolution team members traveled to the UC Davis campus to kickstart the week-long annual Teck trek for 90 8th-grade girls from across California. Our workshop theme was titled  “How electric cars can save the world.” Participants used the engineering design process to build a simple electric motor and learned that if electric vehicles made up just 21% of the total car market it could reduce CO2 emissions by over 7.66 gigatons which is the equivalent of planting 9 million acres of trees (5x the size of the US)!   Thank you, AAUW of California for inviting us!Read More →

Our second year of Career Quest ended abruptly with COVID-19 shutting down schools and business, but we still had a very successful year!  We were on target to engage with 1476 students from 39 different classrooms, but still made an enormous impact on 835 students from 23 classrooms. Currently, we are putting a lot of our attention on adding more local business for students to explore and learn from. We are also very focused on implementing new health and safety protocols for all the students, teachers, staff and employee volunteers. We are looking forward to engaging more students and teachers next school year with additional businessRead More →
