After San Fernando witnessed a 36% increase to the homeless population, 12 female high school engineers dubbed, the DIY girls, sought to design a solar-powered tent to provide relief for this growing epidemic. Wanting to offer the homeless community something with more longevity than money, the young women began developing a solar-powered tent that is compact enough to fit into a backpack.
The backpack is described to look like "a big blue sun," with a clear opening on the pack that lets the sun shine through, charging the solar panels. Solar powered tents provide users with the ability to harness their own energy at little to no cost. For the homeless population, this tent would provide not only shelter, but warmth, light and electricity.
