Orange High School is committed to recruiting high school students to work on <br />this project. We intend to use this project as a service learning opportunity for students <br />interested in research and development in the solar energy field. We would prefer that <br />the the project take place during the fall of 1999, but we will work with the planning team <br />on their seasonal issues if needed. <br />We would like to use one of the bicycles for our resource officer stationed at Orange <br />High School to ride on campus. We think this would be the perfect opportunity to model <br />solar bicycling use in a practical application. <br />We believe this will be an exciting and worthwhile learning experience for our students. <br />Sincerely, <br />7 <br />Lynn P. Moody <br />Workforce Development Director <br />
