Sol Station
The "Sol Station" project was part of a joint effort by Engineers Without Borders' Local Projects group and the Campus Sustainability Fund. The goal of the project was to increase the presence of sustainable tech and initiate conversations about opportunities for greater sustainability by constructing and placing seven solar powered cell phone charging stations in high-traffic locations around campus.
One of these stations was constructed in 2018 and given to the Athletic Department for field test at Husky Stadium for the 2019-20 football season. Over the course of four games, three members from the project team stood by the station to observe its performance, engage fans using the stations, and survey its users for their impressions and comments. |
