Andover’s Jacqui Morris, a junior at Proctor, presents with Kelly Yu ’17 during Proctor’s Innovation Night. Jacqui’s group was one of more than a dozen student groups to present their innovative research, focusing on a solar oven and food dehydrator.

On May 17, Proctor Academy hosted its second innovation night of the year, celebrating student ingenuity and innovation. Members of Proctor’s AP Environmental Science, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship courses presented projects to the school community in an open house fashion.

Student projects ranged from the creation of solar ovens to rocketeering to the development of detailed business plans that students hope to implement on campus next year.

Proctor understands it graduates incredibly creative, independent thinkers who are drawn to entrepreneurship and innovation careers. The academic courses highlighted on Innovation Night, among others, provide a critical foundation and network of engaged alumni on which current students can launch their own careers.
