Millennium Fellowship Project: Upcycled Solar Backpack Phone Charger

The Upcycled Solar Backpack Phone Charger aims to provide an eco-friendly, sustainable solution to the problem of constantly needing to charge devices while on the go, especially for outdoor enthusiasts and travelers. The concept is simple: integrate a small solar panel into a backpack, allowing it to charge a battery that can be used to charge your phone or other small devices. The uniqueness of this project lies in its focus on upcycling—using old or discarded materials and repurposing them into something functional and environmentally friendly.
