ASU professor’s solar-powered library is transforming global education

ASU professor’s solar-powered library is transforming global education

Five years ago, Laura Hosman challenged her engineering students to develop a solar-powered library that would fit in a backpack. That was the beginning of SolarSPELL, which has evolved into a tool for a global humanitarian mission that is bringing education and health care information to people in remote communities. Hosman (second from left in photo), an associate professor in the Fulton Schools and ASU’s School for the Future of Innovation in Society, is continuing to get more ASU students involved in the endeavor through internships and engineering capstone design projects.
