New Town Builders is turning to Denver students to help it tap into the power of the sun.
Students up to age 18 are invited to enter their solar-powered experiments in an event June 20 at Stapleton, where more than $1,200 in awards will be handed out to the schools and organizations they represent.
Final judging will take place during a Summer Solstice Science Fair at a park at East 35th Avenue and Wabash Street, just east of East 35th Avenue and Central Park Boulevard in Stapleton. Students can set up displays beginning at 8:30 a.m. Judging will begin at 10 a.m.
There are no rules or limits for the competition, except for using the imagination and having fun. Participants must register by June 16.
Entry forms and additional information are available via e-mail from summersolstice@newtownbuilders.com or by calling 303-707-4444.
New Town Builders says it is committed to harnessing the power of the sun in every new single- family home it builds. The company is investing up to $10,000, after rebates, into each mini-solar plant on each new home. The systems generate an instant return to homeowners in the form of lower electric bills and federal tax credits.
