"In the past three months, the students of Don Bosco have been working on the development of two innovative prototypes to implement solar power. This project was carried out here at Don Bosco in cooperation with AFD, IECD, and Schneider Egypt in order to provide students with the tools and skills needed in the target market," said the manager of the French Agency for Development.
An Egyptian manager of Schneider says: "The idea of the project is to teach students, the next generation of engineers, to be familiar with new technologies for the use of solar energy. Of course, we know well the shortcomings and difficulties of our country from an economic point of view and rising costs. This is why we are concerned about the next generation of engineers."
One of the teachers in the school says: "I'm working on a project for a pump which will use the energy generated by the sun through panels, without the use of batteries. We will use it for soil or water or to fill a tank depending on the energy generated in such a way that when the pump has more energy it will produce more water."
According to another teacher: "The second project is about how to provide a small house with solar energy, in addition to using the national power grid, depending on the availability of the sun."
Finally, the students: Michael comments: "what is unique about this project is that for the first time we are using solar energy." Mohammed added: "the use of solar energy will increase in the future and in addition it is a clean energy that does not pollute." And Joseph concludes: "This project will help me to work better and faster with solar energy, because I had to deal with problem resolution, and this helped me to become a better technician."
