EcoPower '26 · Nine Weeks
EcoPower '26
“EcoPower helped me shape my ideas and make them actually into something. I came in with a vision. I leave with a platform.”
01
What I Learned
“I learned how research, mapping, surveys, design, and speaking can all work together to move a community idea forward.”
02
How I Played My Role
“Like basketball, the work required awareness, communication, and trust. I learned when to lead, when to listen, and how to keep the project moving.”
03
What I'm Taking With Me
“Community problems need both research and creative solutions. Listening shapes the project just as much as building does.”
