Envirolution attended the Family Science Night at the Discovery Museum on November 2nd in partnership with FIRST Nevada! We had an amazing time helping young minds explore efficient lighting and power production with our E-Bike. There were over 30 young minds that got hands-on experience with our fun activities! We also joined Washoe County School District at their Passport to Success nights on November 1st and 17th. Students and their families spoke with representatives from more than a dozen programs designed to provide opportunities for high school students to expand their educational horizons, pursue their interests, and develop their unique talents and abilities. Students enjoyed our hands-on activities and are getting excited about the Sustainability Expedition.Read More →
