The Foisie Innovation Studio is a showcase of WPI's technology and resources, boasting maker spaces, a prototyping lab, convertible classrooms, and, as most have noticed, a plethora of television screens. Foisie has over 40 television screens in the open areas of the first and second floors. These screens run during all open hours, totaling over 116 hours a week. Conservative estimates say that after a month of running these screens, you could have fully charged a Tesla Model-S.

WPI prides itself on being a leader in innovation and technology, but also on helping communities and creating positive impact. The Green Team believes these screens are unnecessary and their on-time should be reduced significantly in order to balance their promotional impact with their environmental impact. Moreover, many students agree that the content is not meaningful or beneficial to them. Other students may find these screens distracting while trying to work in surrounding areas and classrooms.

If you feel that these screens should be turned off more than they currently are, please sign this petition and have your voice heard!
