Ultimate Solar Keyboard

The existing problem is that funding and support for existing music programs has decreased significantly. Studies have shown that music education is important to a student’s learning development. The solution is to create more affordable musical instruments that can also be sustainable by using solar energy to power the instruments. More affordable instruments allows the limited funding to be utilized elsewhere within the program. A solar-powered instrument can be a more convenient option for music programs, leading to more efficient power usage and aiding the Earth’s environment. This semester, the goal is to make the power usage even more efficient and powerful than before to last for a longer period of time.
