They were tasked with creating a marketing plan for the Pennsylvania Turnpike's solar energy and sustainability program. They created an original superhero called A New Dawn and a full plan to engage their audience by reviving historical superheroes from past Turnpike comics. They presented their project at the Laurel Highlands America's 250th Summit and inspired many community leaders with their creativity.
