DEFINE: Phones these days are extremely expensive and because of the mass production of them, it is not good for the environment. Also a big inconvenience for people today is phone batteries dying out in the middle of the day when you don’t have time to charge it.  Our solution would be to create a inexpensive solar-powered phone that would be used for communication services only. 

DISCOVER: Our group has researched online about solar powered phones, but all we found was solar powered calculators. Making this discovery really sparked an idea to make our phone like solar powered calculators are made. Also we researched ways that phones aren’t good for the environment and took notes on how we could make it beneficial instead. For example, we found this solar powered calculator and used its circuitry to help us understand and build our own.

DREAM:  

• make an easily accessible phone to people all over the world
• the phone should be inexpensive to make and sell
• solar-powered so that the battery doesn’t die throughout the day/last longer
• only for communication purposes so the phone doesn’t have super advanced technology
• we could use the same circuitry as solar powered calculators
• we could even use old recycled phones such as nokias and blackberrys to help the environment and recycle 
• maybe the military could use it since it is inexpensive instead of walkie talkies

DELIVER: Our delivery will be presented in class in a Dragon’s Den format
