"I loved the creativity and practicality of the energy audit project! The way students took ownership of conserving energy and created posters to raise awareness was inspiring. What I think I can take away from this project is the importance of hands-on activities that promote environmental responsibility and student empowerment. The project's focus on real-world application and community engagement is something I'd like to incorporate into my own teaching practice."
