Solar Buddy / Light Up Learning

Our @WeAreCumnor Year 7 Boys took part in the Global Cognita Solar Buddy / Light Up Learning Event today.

Cognita Schools will be assembling around 2,500 lights, to be distributed to children afflicted by energy poverty and lack of electricity around the world.

Their teacher explained about energy poverty in poorer countries, and why the Solar Buddies built by the children today will be so appreciated. The boys then watched a short video on how to construct the Solar Buddy.

They worked in pairs to build their Solar Buddy. One of the boys commented that “it was the best science practical they have ever worked on and it was such fun”.

Thanks @CognitaSchools. We hope the children receiving the Solar Buddies enjoy them as much as we did!
