After surveying Archer's community to discover which issues the students cared about most, the InvenTeam decided to focus on water conservation–specifically about the Southern California drought. The team has invented a compact faucet attachment with an adjustable aerator that will monitor water usage. The attachment will take the place of an existing faucet aerator and will include an adapter to make sure that the product will fit most common faucets. The team is also continuously researching the most efficient ways to power the device and is currently planning to make the battery rechargeable.
The Archer School for Girls admits students of any race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status in its hiring or in the administration of its educational policies and programs, admissions policies, financial aid programs or other school-administered programs.
The Archer School for Girls’ mission is to educate students in an environment specifically designed for girls. As such, the school will consider any candidate for admission who identifies as a girl. Once admitted to Archer, all students in good academic standing who abide by Archer’s code of conduct and who meet requirements for graduation will be eligible to receive an Archer diploma, regardless of any change in sexual identity or other legally protected status.
