CSI/National Grid Help Knowledge Take Flight

Students from local high schools learned about engineering at a workshop sponsored by National Grid.

Students from Port Richmond, Curtis, Susan E. Wagner, and New Dorp high schools recently had a unique opportunity to come to the campus of the College of Staten Island and learn various aspects of engineering, thanks to National Grid’s “Engineering Our Future” initiative. This unique workshop was sponsored by National Grid in partnership with the College’s Liberty Partnership Program (LPP).

Loretta Smith, National Grid director of corporate citizenship, said: “National Grid is taking action through ‘Engineering Our Future’ to inspire youth and attract and develop engineers to make sure there are enough engineers in the future workforce. We are happy to partner with organizations like CSI and the Liberty Partnerships program to encourage students of all ages and backgrounds to study math, science, technology, and engineering in order to create a corps of smart, dedicated, and highly trained engineers to build the next-generation energy delivery system, including smart grids and other emerging high-tech systems.”
