In collaboration with a Civil Developer in Tanzania and the professional chapter of E.W.B in L.A. We are looking to install a micro controlled solar water pump system for a school, of 400+, in Tanzania. Currently students have to make themselves down a treacherous path of around 300 meters. This takes time out of their studies and puts their health and safety at risk!
Motivation
Make an impact on underprivileged students by supplying them with technology to overcome physical barriers to an education
Inspire them to continue their education through mentoring programs
Micro Controlled Solar Water Pump System
Install solar panels to provide power for water pump
Install water pump and all the required tubing
Install two communication Micro Controller to monitor power supply and water control
Provide tutorials/ learning exercises on water controlled pump for maintenance
Educational Micro controller projects
Education is very hard to obtain affecting isolated rural communities the most
Providing some micro controllers and electronic parts allow for community members, from kids to adults, gain a valuable skill that improves their future opportunities
Is beneficial for both the volunteer(you), to gain once a lifetime experience, and to the disadvantage community by improving their way of life
Please see Costa Rica page for examples on educational Micro Controller Projects
