Penn State Berks students created projects this spring designed to assist the city of Reading in its sustainability efforts. As part of an environmental science course taught by Mahsa Kazempour, students worked with local organizations to propose and follow through with ideas ranging from building bird houses at an elementary school to basic cleanup around the city.

A diverse group of faculty members at Penn State Berks have come together to collaborate on creative ways to use technology to transform the classroom.
