With rates of homelessness rapidly on the rise in Los Angeles, residents are scrambling to find solutions. One group of students at San Fernando High School took it upon themselves to make an impact, and despite having no prior experience with engineering or invention, they managed to construct a solar-powered tent that rolls up into a backpack, and now they’ve earned a whole lot more than just the world’s respect.

I see that nearly 7 days have past since your post and, even though a few people updpvoted and commented on this great idea, I feel it is not getting the visibility and support it should compared to a lot of other posts on this platform. If you can think of anything I can do to keep spreading the word around on Steemit, let me know, I would be happy to help.

Hope this is ok with you. I really think this project of yours is worth every possible attention

How is it a solar-powered tent ?

Found the answer here
That solar-powered backpack developed by the DIY Girls actually folds out into a tent complete with solar panels, charging stations and lights. DIY Girls is a program that helps young women from low-income areas get involved in science.

I wonder how a homeless person will be able to afford one of these tents.

lovely!

yup

Nice idea to help homeless people

yes
