Hydropower STEM Academy is open for Grant County students

From building and flying their drones to constructing and racing a solar-powered car, to learning how to create a working hydropower model, the Foundation for Water Energy and Education’s Hydropower and STEM Career Academy has plenty of exciting fun to offer high school-aged students this June.

The FWEE Hydropower and STEM Career Academy is at Rocky Reach Dam near Wenatchee from June 18 to 22. High school-aged students in Grant County are encouraged to apply to the academy before the May 4 deadline.

The academy provides plenty of hands-on activities, tours of facilities — including the Rocky Reach Dam, operated by Chelan PUD — and the chance to meet and learn from professionals in the hydropower industry, from engineers, plant operators, natural resource managers and more.
