GREENLINE GREENHOUSE

Student Names: Anabella Castellanos '24 and Veronica Gula '24

Project Description: Greenline’s main purpose is to help alleviate food insecurity within inner cities. The initial idea is to modify a trolley car that we would eventually grow our vegetables in and sell them throughout the city as people get on and off the train. The project is aimed for people who do not have a source of transportation. By selling our product off of the trolley, Greenline must consider the prices of other stores such as supermarkets and grocery stores. This business is about showing awareness to the population that suffers from food insecurity, and creating a solution to sell nutritional vegetables and other related products from the trolley at a reasonable price.

Costa Kids

Student Names:  Alexis Reilly '24, Sydney Redpath '24, Alexa Robles '24

Project Description: Our original plan was to help kids in hospitals in Costa Rica. A lot of kids in Costa Rica struggle with poverty, on top of being sick in hospitals. Our goal was to give them a better environment by creating a plan to decorate their hospital rooms. Due to some obstacles, we had to shift our idea and focus on hospitals and nurses’ offices in the Philadelphia area, including our own. We expanded our knowledge in creating prototypes for our own nurses’ office here at SCH.
