Two-day workshop

Selena Savić (SRB/CH): The Solar Workshop

The workshop is a place for experimentation and the manufacturing of solar cells. Using different materials like broken glass, berries and titanium dioxide, we are going to build DIY solar cells that can produce a voltage of 0.4 volts each. We will test the capacity of these cells by connecting them together and powering simple devices. Having an independent source of energy allows for these devices to work without maintenance, which makes them ideal for usage in public space.

In English and Serbian. Open to all women and trans-identified people. No participation fee. Please, apply  to: rz.delavnica@gmail.com (Subject: Solar Workshop).
