Team Black Hole
Updated: 1/21/2016
Introduction
Aloha! We are Team Black Hole! Katherine, Janiene and Makamae here with our mentor Brandon. We are working towards making a low cost, efficient weather box. Due to Hawaii's heavy dependency on imported oil, our electricity bills are very expensive. Our weatherbox will allow us to determine optimal locations for photo-voltaic (PV) panels to collect as much solar energy as possible. Weatherboxes will help a ton because solar energy is not readily available 24/7.
Goals
Make Brandon Amano Proud!
