- Need for practical courses / labs regarding electronics, energy access, solar energy and batteries
- Encouraging students to start something of their own requires as “can-do” or “Maker” attitude
- Tinkering, soldering, repairing and building (“Maker attitude”) things supports learning process, but not very present in modern engineering education
- Prototype a concept for replicable, low-cost “Open Source Makerspace” electronic labs with a focus on encouraging hands-on
- Training for students in tinkering, soldering, repurposing, building
- Focus on solar energy (with an long-term goal toward other renewables)
- Provide course modules+material to practically support learning in the different solar energy areas
- Setup and handover of local Makerspace as a concept worth spreading
- Direct capacity building and development of local know-how on renewable microenergy systems
- Strengthening local engineering and handycraft capacity as a key enabler for a growing green-tech industry
