“This involvement provided me with a deep, personal understanding and appreciation about the need to advocate for those affected by social inequities.” - Liam, High School Student
Liam chose to build CR Boxes for a local elementary school with poor air quality as part of his service project to earn the highest rank in the Boy Scouts program - Eagle Scout. In choosing this as his Eagle project, Liam wanted to share this invaluable air cleaning creation with others who may benefit, especially those who may be high risk and those in underserved communities. As a teen with medical conditions that make him vulnerable to airborne viruses, Liam has a personal understanding of the need for clean air. With the help of his fellow troop-mates, these teens built 30 CR boxes for a local STEM school.
Liam worked with local superintendent, Sara Newell, to offer the donation of CR Boxes. After learning that the air quality results were subpar, Liam approached Sara who was excited and appreciative of the donation.
The STEM school that received the CR boxes and particle counters is committed to not only teaching about air quality, but also sharing how to build these CR boxes with other schools.
“We are excited about the opportunity to partner with a local Boy Scout and bring Corsi-Rosenthal air filtering units to North Kannapolis Elementary School! As a STEM school this opportunity will lead to unique learning opportunities and support health and wellness at NKE!” - Sara Newell, Superintendent
