Our Work
Implementation 3
Our team has been working hard to make Implementation 3 a reality. After assessing the needs of the school community, we have been designing and developing a Solar water pump system to extend the current water catchment and provide ease of access for students to have their daily needs met.
Summer 2026
5 UCSB students will travel to Rwanda to execute on-site construction and commissioning of the system. These students represent the culmination of 2+ years of hands-on engineering work, site analysis, hydraulic calculations, CAD modeling, solar system sizing, and technical documentation.
