The 2025 Speaker Series was on Friday, November 21st!
Our 9th and 10th grade students got to attend various sessions designed to show them possible STEM-related fields.
The Water Tower at Gwinnett
CHARGEnorth students take a look inside the operations of local Water Tower, seeing first hand the different stages that contaminated water processes through to be sent cleaned to Lake Lanier. Students also partake in a career fair, getting the opportunity to speak with people in fields related to those at The Water Tower- environmental engineers, project managers, civil engineers, technicians, and more.
Viewing first processing step: bacteria eat waste in the water (biofiltration)
Viewing third processing step: water is filtered through tubes with holes thinner than a strand hair
Georgia Tech's Kendeda Building & Ponce City Market
The CHARGEnorth sophomores were able to explore the sustainable green classroom of the Kendeda Building! They were able to learn all about sustainable buildings, including net positive energy systems (producing more energy than it uses) and using specific building materials to be as friendly as possible to the environment. After the immersive tour, students were able to explore the historic building of Ponce City Market!
