<p>So I'm big on helping the environment, yadadad, and my family and i will spend some of the summer installing a solar panel system on our cabin near our local lake. Would this be of any interest to colleges(MIT:)-), or is it just garbage I should keep to myself?? Thanks</p>
<p>Any activity that you find interesting and spend lots of time doing could be of interest to colleges. It's not just formal ECs that they care about. Certainly your installing a solar panel system should be of interest to a tech school like MIT as well as any college because the skills, info and experience that you gain will be of great benefit to you -- whether or not you end up using those things in college or directly in your career.</p>
<p>cool thanks</p>
