Students earn honors for invention ideas
Employees from Poughkeepsie-based technology company Uncharted Power, in collaboration with Poughkeepsie Middle School staff, helped educate more than 220 PMS students about innovation. Students virtually learned through the “UPlift” program about how they, too, can be inventors in their communities. Uncharted Power helps communities improve the resiliency of their local infrastructure, so when the electrical grid fails, the community doesn’t.
