Solar Power!
Marianna Kahare was one of 18 children from Namibia’s foggy coastal town of Walvis Bay to learn about the powers of the sun at NaDEET Centre recently. Here Marianna is wearing a hat with a solar-powered fan. Most children believe that solar electricity is slow and takes a long time to be generated. By testing out the hat in the sun, Marianna quickly discovered that solar electricity is produced within seconds. This is one of many hands-on activities for children at NaDEET Centre to engage them in sustainable living technologies.
