Connecticut Environmental Action Day is an annual conference that seeks to inspire middle school students to create a plan to be more environmentally friendly. Madeline and her project partners Maggi Anstett and Margaret Sanders will work with their mentors from UConn Extension to create and build digital kits for middle school students who cannot attend this conference in person.
