About the project

Our plan is to transform used shipping containers into classrooms and install more energy efficient computers to save energy. The mobile computer lab uses solar panels to make it energy independent. We will use 40 feet long container to build a portable classroom that can fit up to 21 students at a time. The school can be moved by truck so that students in other remote areas with little

  • r no access to electricity can benefit from the curriculum and internet

connectivity.

Why a container ?

  • We do not depend on schools to provide a classroom.
  • We use less money than renovating a classroom.
  • The container has a durable steel construction.
  • We own the classroom (Cercle Social asset).
  • We can move the classroom anywhere at anytime.
  • We do not pay electrical bills using solar energy.
