Solar Cell Phone Chargers

Our project’s goal is to enable the homeless population of Tulsa, OK to charge their cell phones for free without using the electricity at a local homeless shelter or from another public source. We plan to create a circuit hooked up to a solar panel, and to channel the sun’s energy to charge the phones.

We became interested in this project because we saw a need within the community for solar powered cell phone chargers. After contacting a local homeless shelter, we found that homeless people have a variety of phones, but are only allowed to charge them at the shelter for a limited amount of time. We saw this project as a solution for the problem, and we are planning on creating a cheap and efficient way to help the homeless population of Tulsa, OK.
