Holly Thorpe, a middle school student at Miami-Dade County Public Schools, has pushed the school district to shift from diesel-fueled buses to electric buses. The district arrived at the decision to convert after Thorpe made insightful points on electric vehicles through her science fair presentation.

The school plans to bring in the electric buses in 2021, a year after Thorpe shared her findings.
