Students will explore local neighborhoods to identify real-world energy and electricity challenges, generating initial insights and questions to guide their design solutions and collaborations with Solar One.

Students will investigate the causes of unreliable power access in various communities, evaluate electrical concepts through active research, and interview local experts to deepen their understanding of the issue.

Students will create and refine schematic diagrams to design solar-powered light systems with effective use of conductors and insulators, applying their knowledge to solve the real-world challenge of unreliable electricity in communities.

Students will implement their designed solar-powered light system prototypes, testing them for functionality and efficiency while iteratively refining their designs based on observed performance and sustainability outcomes.

Students will share their solar-powered light systems and design insights with family members, classmates, and Solar One representatives in a presentation session, demonstrating their understanding of conductors, insulators, wiring techniques, and schematic reading and discussing the potential impact on communities facing electricity challenges.
