Humanitarian Design Corps refurbishes outdoor charging station on Case Quad
You may already be familiar with the solar charging table that sits in the Case Quad near the Michaelson-Morely Fountain. Emerging from the center of the table are two solar panel structures that, years ago, were able to power outlet plugs capable of charging devices like phones and laptops, making it easy for the campus community to enjoy the sunshine while studying outside. Now, thanks to the Humanitarian Design Corps, the table is back to work.
