Lenss. The lenss project supports students in learning engineering and coding skills while increasing knowledge and awareness of the health of nearby geneva lake. Lenss is led by local high-school students working in teams, mentored over multiple years by stem professionals and sharing knowledge and experience with each other. Students create custom sensors, mounting them along the lake shore, and collect and analyze a variety of data that they provide.this information is then made available to the public, inviting communtiy-based environmental action. Students learn invaluable engineering and programming skills through sensor design and development, gain experience in data management as they collect and analyze information from their sensors, and learn functional marketing, public outreach, and graphic design skills as they bring the project and their results to their communities.

Dark skies office. The darks skies office at glas education coordinates efforts to reduce light pollution in our community.
