In Durham, North Carolina, a classroom of fourth graders have been learning upon the subject of solar energy and other energy sources from their teacher, Aaron Sebens, and have came up with the idea of having their own classrooms powered by solar power energy. The video below features the journey they came across from arising to the idea to making it a reality, where it ends in having a celebratory party, whereas Aaron and his students officially "flips the switch."
To fund the project, Aaron and his class has launched a crowd-funding campaign that asked for support throughout America and around the world. The students had originally hoped to raise $800 but significantly, beat their expectations by raising to more than $5000.
Hosted in a various number of places in the U.S., LivingSocial is hosting a glow-in-the-dark party to communities for a cause. Such places include Chicago, Illinois; Atlanta, Georgia; New York City; Denver, Colorado; Washington, D.C., San Francisco, California; Seattle; San Diego, California; Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Not only are you qualified for the glow-in-the-dark party but you would also be allowed admission for an after-party. If this doesn't interest you, maybe this will: portions of the profit would be donations for solar lanterns to children in Somalia. So, enjoy this special event for if you're having fun, you'll be helping another country in taking another step towards solar energy!
