Spring is
coming to town: birds are singing, the sun is shining and little by little it’s
getting warmer. Are you also looking forward to those picnics and long summer
nights outside? But of course, how could we forget, there is MTB and the huge
amount of assignments…
Actually,
we did a little brainstorming about it and we concluded that it would be nice
to combine business with pleasure. The University of Ghent could offer a rental
service of portable solar chargers that allows the MTB community to use their
electronic devices outside. In our opinion, we have to spend many hours in
fusty classrooms, so it would be healthy to get a breath of fresh air once in a
while. Moreover, some fresh air stimulates creativity and the sunshine will
contribute to our good mood.
Let’s enjoy
the nice weather and make our assignments together! What do you think?

In my opinion, the portable solar charger is a great eco-innovation! I really love it to make my school assignments outside when it's sunny, so I would certainly use it!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGlad to hear you're supporting our idea Hélène!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe're still brainstorming about how much the University should charge students who want to rent a charger for 1 day. We still want the benefits to outweigh the costs, of course. We were also thinking of adding a deposit fee in case someone were to damage the charger. This is of course just the worst case scenario. Conscientious students who return the charger in good condition will be granted a fee refund.
How much would you be willing to pay for it? Anyone else who wants to give their opinion: feel free to comment!
