Tecnico La Salle - July 17, 2008


The Tecnico La Salle is a 500 student high school that promotes quality education so kids can get a good job and a good salary. The school was established in 1903 the focus of the school is on electrical, mechanical, industrial, and technological education. There are wood shops, computer labs, a wheel chair building program, and renewable energy projects using solar, wind, and geothermal energy. Renewable energy is a main area of focus and Nicaragua recognizes the energy problem is worldwide and needs to be a global effort. Unfortunately, the school has not received support from the central government. In addition, Nicaragua has very few engineers with experience in this area.

Tecnico La Salle supports two wind turbines.
