1 month internship with a Renewable energy company
At Animas High School we get the opportunity to do a month long internship during the month of March that allows us to further explore professions that we have interest in. This internship is required at Animas in order to graduate senior year. During this internship we learn more about the professional world and spend time on a project that exhibits our learning. This experience was prioritized because we gain experience in a professional environment that encourages new learning and growth.
My internship
Solar Works is the name of the company I am interning with, they install solar panels for businesses and residents in the Durango. They also have patented a few new items that incorporate solar technology, recently patented a solar speak that is rechargeable from the sun and portable. For my internship I was able to explore my interests in engineering and the sciences behind renewable resources. I have always had big interest in the new frontier of renewable resources because of the impermanence of fossil fuels. I was lucky enough to have the owner of Solar Works Derek Wadsworth as my mentor.
