Last week Energy celebrated our official dedication ceremony in true Energy fashion with a non-traditional "Board Cutting" with all of those who have helped to make Energy Institute happen! Students watched the live stream of the ceremony in classrooms throughout the campus. Following the ceremony, over 100 guests toured the new facility, catching project based learning in action. A huge thank you to the students, staff, and parents who helped make our building dedication such a special day. Check out the HISD article here.
