What would happen if we could store the energy that we save in a global battery, and someone else, somewhere else in the world, could use it?

‍

The Save It Forward project is aimed at building a framework for collaboration between engineering students from the West and the Global South, and the Save It Forward hackathon was the first step towards it.

‍

It makes us feel uncomfortable to see how difficult it is to get in touch with engineering students from universities in developing countries working on energy poverty and energy saving. Visualization can be an effective tool for activation, and the idea of building a global battery serves the purpose.

This dowe was in collaboration with the US based organization under30changemakers and Campus Party Europe.

‍

Our grand vision it to create a platform where students from the Global South and the Global North can easily get in touch with each other to collaborate on relevant social challenges.
