Sullivan BOCES Unveils Student-Based Wind Turbine Project
June 2, 2014 by The Catskill Chronicle
LIBERTY, NY (June 2, 2014) – On May 29, Sullivan BOCES unveiled its first wind turbine, which is located at the Rubin Pollack Education Center on 
Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty.
During the event, students talked about their current projects and demonstrated how they will use the turbine to create energy for future renewable energy programs.
The Wind Turbine Project, part of BOCES STEM initiative, was created for the 9th and 10th grade Pre-Tech Program. 
The students are planning to use the wind turbine to generate energy to construct a Mobile Renewable Education Unit (Tiny House), which will be used to educate other Sullivan County students on renewable energy technologies.
The initiative doesn’t stop with the wind turbine; the students are also working with renewable products to create biogas generators, wood-gas generators, hydroponics, aquaculture systems, and micro-hydro systems.
Participants of the event also had the opportunity to participate in the SkillsUSA Chicken BBQ Dinner prepared by the Career & Tech Culinary Arts students.
