The Solar Challenge is an exciting challenge for pupils aged 8-14 years old. It enables them to investigate how the generation of electricity using solar cells can transform the lives of people living without access to mains electricity.
The challenge, created by Practical Action, is based on their work in Gwanda, Zimbabwe. The challenge includes an off-grid design element for pupils to develop a solar base solution to address a real-life problem for rural communities living without mains electricity in Zimbabwe.
The resource is free to download and includes a teacher’s guide, PowerPoint presentation, pupil activity sheets and poster.
