Magenta House

Magenta House is a civic engagement program focused on sustainability projects. It challenges middle-school students to invent water-saving and power-saving projects. LAUSD and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are sponsors.

The Magenta House Expo is like a science fair, with judges, awards, prizes, and celebration. Student projects are shared with family, community and fellow students and teachers.
