Well, it sounds like these solar kids are shining brighter than the sun itself! I mean, who needs solar panels when you've got a group of super bright students? Keep up the brilliance!

To the end of Solar Week Two!

We're off to a great start at Build a Hut camp. 💪 Our focus on construction engineering has led to some impressive progress already!

Watch these young builders lay the foundation for their futures! Stay tuned for more.

Civil engineering Week 5! We learned about groundwater using our aquifers, compared water pumps, and felt how heavy water can be. We also discussed how getting water in South Sudan would be different than here!💪

Continuing week 4 with solar! We used our solar panels to pump water much like water towers in South Sudan, and created circuits with our breadboards to light up lights for our mini huts! ☀💡

Build A Hut Camp Week 3, moved on from construction into solar!
We measured the wattage in devices in our homes, learned how solar panels turn light into energy, and wired solar panels in series and parallel!

Everyone got to show off their creative side during week 2 of camp! We took a look at South Sudanese huts and the steps that go into making them! The kids planned, constructed and decorated their own miniature huts!👷‍♂️🎨 @NebToday @UNLExtension @UNL_IANR @ChasStoltenow @AquaAfrica

Kicking off Build A Hut camp last week! We talked with CEO of Aqua Africa, Buey Tut, worked on our math skills, created a 3D model in AutoCAD, geocached South Sudanese artifacts, and persevered through the hardship of brick laying! 💪😁
