A couple of weekends ago, the local science museum was having a Maker Faire, so we decided to walk down and check it out.
My favorite part was the booth where you could solder a circuit board to turn a kerosene lamp into a solar powered lamp. Seth spent 15 minutes with this man who patiently showed him how to do each step. He learned to use a soldering iron! The satisfied grin on his face when he saw his light actually turn on after all that work? Priceless.
This video showed him where his lamp will most likely go. There are remote areas of the Philippines that don't have access to an electrical grid, and kerosene is expensive.
