LEDsafari

LEDsafari is a social start-up based in Lausanne, Switzerland and aims to tackle concretely subjects like clean energy and sustainable development in general, by making a solar LED lamp. Through our training, secondary students actively learn and apply electricity and energy principles of the science curriculum by assembling the solar electrical circuit. The process also allows students to let their imagination and creativity run free by designing a personalised lamp body from recycled materials, each building a clean energy solution that is completely unique. Our student-driven approach blends science, engineering, environmental technology and design learning in an interdisciplinary and modern pedagogy. In developed schools which could be in west world or in fast developing countries,we run educational program which is an ideal way to teach pupils aged 12+ fundamental principles about electrical circuits and solar technology through building a simple LED lamp embedded in the curriculum. Programs blend technology with creativity! Pupils will be designing and building the lamps from scratch using disposable household items. Every lamp is completely unique. In developing countries we not only run the educational program but also entrepreneurship program where we train the entrepreneurs with the technical know-how in the region to build and maintain solar lamps. Entrepreneurs can also train others through our train the trainers program. We operates through implementation partners who could be schools, institutes, NGOs, Foundations, local government where we train their trainers and then they implement the educational and entrepreneurship programs in their area. They buy our components and training. After one pilot from our trainers, they can run the programs independently in their region.
