Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 17th of June.
Good morning, Lowell.
🎓 Education
UMass Lowell students worked on a spring project in Sosúa, Dominican Republic, where they installed solar panels at a school and three homes with help from the Center for Energy Innovation and the Energy Access Foundation.
Their work now keeps classes running during power outages — a hands-on lesson.
Lowell Community Charter Public School held its second annual public reading of Frederick Douglass’ speech in honor of Juneteenth and the city’s 200th birthday last Thursday at The Luna Theater.
The event featured student readers and an interactive discussion led by Dr. Forrant (UMass Lowell Professor).
