1. Bridging gaps in STEM education for underserved communities.
2. Providing emergency-response units that generate electricity
and pure water from the Sun. 3. Open-source product design and
development for Bottom of the Pyramid customers. 4. Job
creation. We start with a mobile solar power generator (instead
of a diesel generator), which has value as an emergency-response
unit in generating solar electricity and purified water in a
disaster. Since this "emergency asset" would just sit around
waiting to respond to an emergency -- at great expense -- we've
devised an enterprise to use it in the meantime. We take this
solar generator, a 25-foot-long trailer with solar panels,
inverters and batteries, and use it as a movable classroom to
teach kids hands-on skills they might not learn otherwise. The
first courses we're creating use STEM (science, technology,
engineering, math) based curriculum and design thinking as the
basis of project-oriented, hands-on learning, by building actual
products. Further, these pro
