| My name is Caleb Chadwick and I live in Brampton, Ontario. I am a Grade 7 student at Mentor College. I am an honour student and participate in many extra-curricular activities such as the Environment Club and Leaders for Change. I play the saxophone and am in the school band. My favourite activities are reading and strategy computer games. I enjoy downhill skiing, motocross (dirt biking), travelling, and spending time at our family cottage. I am very interested in alternative energy and ‘green’ architecture. I would like to take architecture or environmental engineering in university, and build my own self-sufficient house. I decided to investigate alternative energies and came upon the photovoltaic concentrator concept, which inspired me to create and test my own. |
