The aim of our senior project is to construct an energy-
generating bicycle that will be able to convert mechanical
energy into electrical energy. Our hope is that the bike will be
able to charge devices, such as mobile phones, and thus provide
a way for us to reduce our carbon footprints. As HKIS is
becoming a greener campus by the year, we thought that it would
be most appropriate to take on this project on behalf of the
school. All three of us were interested in doing this project
because we are passionate about the environment, and hope to
help improve the environmental situation in some way. We are all
planning to study environmental engineering in college, a
burgeoning field that uses technology to tackle the
environmental issues of today, such as pollution and global
warming. This project thus has two aspects to it - an
environmental, service-based aspect as well as a technological,
science-based aspect. The SLR of “Self Motivated Learning” is
the focus of our project. By challenging ourselves with subj
