Solar Shade
This interesting Hi-tech shade in the shape of a leaf.
Its designed by Australian designers Buro North (http://www.buronorth.com)and is intended to help teach children to understand how to collect energy from the sun and provide shade for play.
The goals of their project are.
* The creation of a solar shade that exposes and exhibits the technology of solar energy harvesting;
* To engage students by developing an interactive concept that requires their input to function;
* To shield students from the harsh Australian playground sun;
* To inform students about the collection of electricity and how the quantity of energy harvested directly relates to the world around them;
* To provide students with a direct benefit from the collection of solar energy.
