Engineering Brightness is Connecting Utility Leaders with Community Needs: A Transformative Experience in Fort Collins with the RADIATE Women’s Leadership Program
ENGINEERING BRIGHTNESS: Learning and Making a Difference is designed to harness the passion, energy and creativity of students world-wide to design, produce and distribute safe, renewable energy lights to places that do not have access to electricity.
Utility 2030 Leadership Collaborative (U2030) is all about helping leaders succeed – the brilliant and dedicated individuals guiding utility companies into the future. Part of that mission is connecting leadership to real community needs – to build empathy and perspective – through #serviceprojects at every U2030 event and utility site visit.
These lanterns will be shipped to Liberia, helping families experiencing #lightpoverty by providing safe light for studying, safety, and daily life aftF YOUR
If you’re looking for a powerful way to combine learning, service, and human connection, I highly recommend bringing this project into your next gathering.

Learning and Making a Difference
Engineering Brightness is a group of students and teachers committed to making the world brighter. Through global collaboration with New Brunswick, The Dominican Republic, and Uganda, Engineering Brightness participants are engineering 3D printed, sustainable lanterns and distributing them to people without reliable electricity worldwide!
3D printers like the MakerBot Replicator 2, Ultimaker 2, LulzBot, and FormLabs Form1+ and many others can be used to print light/lantern cases into which student-manufactured led light circuits with renewable energy sources (re-chargeable batteries) can be placed. Solutions can include a complete solar-powered system or be a hybrid of solar and human powered re-chargers, which is where the Riverview/Preston/PheaseyPark/CHAT project currently stands (June 2015).
All are invited to join this grass-roots, open source mission to light the world!
