by Patrick Walsh
When: Wednesday, February 28. 7 p.m.
Where: Murphy Hall, University YMCA (Wright and Chalmers)
Patrick and a group of student engineers began designing and building small,
efficient solar panel-charged and battery-operated LED lanterns for the
replacement of kerosene in the developing world. The LED lantern provides the
first economical modern light source for the world's most isolated citizens. The
project recently won a phase-one $10,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental

Planet) awards. For more info, e-mail Jennifer at
