LOUISVILLE — Junior high students at North Clay School District are helping students in Africa by building a solar suitcase that will light the way for learning. North Clay is one of 13 schools in the state participating in the We Share Solar program. Launched for the first time in Illinois this year, the program offers a unique science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) educational experience that combines solar STEM education with real-world impact to engage and inspire students to become the next generation of “Solar Solutionaries.” North Clay science teacher Adam Frederick learned the program was seeking applicants and applied last year. The school was then chosen to build one of many portable 12-volt DC solar suitcases that will bring electricity to people at Bidi Bidi Refugee Settlement in northwestern Uganda — the second largest refugee settlement in the world. The settlement has 270,000 South Sudanese refugees and no electricity in its 40 schools. Once assembled, the suitcases are powerful enough to illuminate two to three classrooms and charge devices such as mobile phones or tablets. It is the first time the school has participated in such a project, according to Frederick, who is trying to build out science and STEM projects at the school. Frederick said he jumped at the opportunity because it has a global impact on a lot of people. “It shows our students real-life skills and things they can apply, and what they’re doing in the classroom can affect people outside the classroom,” he said. After Thanksgiving, the school received six training cases and one to be sent to Uganda. Frederick said it took about a week to build the solar cases; three days were spent assembling them. Students spent the rest of the time on projects that included taking voltage and amperage readings. The students completed the solar suitcases just before winter break. Frederick said the students had some knowledge going into the project, having already studied circuitry and wiring, but with the project, they learned about solar power and how solar cells generate electricity. They also learned about teamwork, as the project required each student to perform a task within each group. Eighth grader Jailyn Gaddy’s job was builder. “They would hand me tools, and I would have to put all the little pieces together for it,” she said. She found getting all the different wires in the right places challenging. “If you didn’t put it in the right little place, then it (light) wouldn’t turn on,” she said. Eighth grader Charlee Wendling loves wiring. She served as project manager. Her task was reading the manual and instructing the other members of her group on how to build it. Aside from learning how to build a solar suitcase, the two learned something else. Gaddy figured some places in the world didn’t have as much electricity as she is accustomed to, but to learn they had none surprised her. “I was excited because I was learning that we were going to get to share light with kids that don’t have any light at their school. We’re very fortunate here to have so much light in most of our buildings,” she said. As part of the project, the students wrote letters and created personalized artwork to send with the solar suitcase. “The art really kind of showcases some beautiful things about what they learned about the students in Uganda and how that blends with our community as well,” said English teacher Jessica Bell. The artwork included agriculture that represented Illinois such as corn and pumpkins. “We learned in Uganda they have different types of ag over there too and that we’re, in a lot of cases, very similar,” said Bell. The students also learned about refugee camps. “My favorite part was probably learning about the refugee camps because I didn’t really realize a lot of that stuff ’til I actually got taught about it,” said Gaddy. Gaddy also realized through the project the disparity that exists in different parts of the world. “How some places can have more than others even though we’re in the same world,” she said. The We Share Solar Suitcase will arrive in Uganda sometime next year with others. The class will receive updates on where it goes and possibly responses from the students benefiting from it. The school will continue with the program for the next three years. The program is funded through Cultivate Power, which manages solar farms in the state. While Frederick considers the school’s science program “pretty hands-on,” he said the We Share Solar program is unique because students can take what they’ve learned and apply it immediately instead of in the future. “They’re taking what we’ve learned in class and seeing it being applied directly to affect somebody else’s life, and I find that very important to them to see that they don’t have to wait until they’ve graduated and had a bunch of training to start applying these things outside the classroom,” he said. Bell likes that the project not only gets kids more involved but also combines learning in both science and language writing. “Students just learn so much more when we can engage them across the subject line,” she said. She added the students also really enjoyed doing it. “I saw a lot of kids – not to be cheesy – but light up at getting to create something like this and knowing that they’re really putting something out there that’s going to help someone else besides them. You see them really grow and learn from that,” she said.Azerbaijani and US officials believe a Russian surface-to-air missile caused the deadly crash of an Azerbaijani passenger jet, media reports and a US official said Thursday, as the Kremlin cautioned against "hypotheses" over the disaster. The Azerbaijan Airlines jet crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau, an oil and gas hub, on Wednesday after going off course for undetermined reasons. Thirty-eight of the 67 people on board died. The Embraer 190 aircraft was supposed to fly northwest from the Azerbaijani capital Baku to the city of Grozny in Chechnya, southern Russia, but instead diverted far off course across the Caspian Sea. An investigation is underway, with pro-government Azerbaijani website Caliber citing unnamed officials as saying they believed a Russian missile fired from a Pantsir-S air defence system downed the plane. The claim was also reported by The New York Times, broadcaster Euronews and the Turkish news agency Anadolu. Some aviation and military experts said the plane might have been accidentally shot by Russian air defence systems because it was flying in an area where Ukrainian drone activity had been reported. A former expert at France's BEA air accident investigation agency said there appeared to be "a lot of shrapnel" damage on the wreckage. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he said the damage was "reminiscent" of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which was downed with a surface-to-air missile by Russia-backed rebels over eastern Ukraine in 2014. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: "It would be wrong to make any hypotheses before the investigation's conclusions." Euronews cited Azerbaijani government sources as saying that "shrapnel hit the passengers and cabin crew as it exploded next to the aircraft mid-flight". A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said early indications suggested a Russian anti-aircraft system struck the plane. Kazakhstan news agency Kazinform cited a regional prosecutor as saying that two black-box flight recorders had been recovered. Azerbaijan Airlines initially said the plane flew through a flock of birds, before withdrawing the statement. Kazakh officials said 38 people had been killed and there were 29 survivors, including three children. Jalil Aliyev, the father of flight attendant Hokume Aliyeva, told AFP that this was supposed to have been her last flight before starting a job as a lawyer for the airline. "Why did her young life have to end so tragically?" the man said in a trembling voice before hanging up the phone. Eleven of the injured are in intensive care, the Kazakh health ministry said. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev declared Thursday a day of mourning and cancelled a planned visit to Russia for an informal summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a grouping of former Soviet nations. "I extend my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the crash... and wish a speedy recovery to the injured," Aliyev said in a social media post Wednesday. The Flight Radar website showed the plane deviating from its normal route, crossing the Caspian Sea and then circling over the area where it eventually crashed near Aktau, on the eastern shore of the sea. Kazakhstan said the plane was carrying 37 Azerbaijani passengers, six Kazakhs, three Kyrgyz and 16 Russians. A Kazakh woman told the local branch of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) she was near where the plane crashed and rushed to the site to help survivors. "They were covered in blood. They were crying. They were calling for help," said the woman, who gave her name as Elmira. She said they saved some teenagers. "I'll never forget their look, full of pain and despair," said Elmira. "A girl pleaded: 'Save my mother, my mother is back there'." Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone conversation with Aliyev and "expressed his condolences in connection with the crash", Peskov told a news conference. bur/rlp/jsAP Trending SummaryBrief at 5:17 p.m. EST
