“Hall has been involved in Solar Spotlight for several years, but this February was her first time hosting.
“I first heard about Solar Spotlight four years ago when I was a reporter and came to cover the event,” she said. “I was delighted when ComEd asked me to host the program this year.”
During the two-day program, Hall watched the students grow as STEM enthusiasts. They worked alongside ComEd professionals to build portable “solar suitcases” that provide backup power for lights, cell phones and computers during emergencies.
“It was inspiring to see these students come together on a Saturday morning to assemble these suitcases that will help communities,” Hall said.
