Members Project: sOccket

facebook.com/membersproject

Members Project from American Express and TakePart presents the story of sOccket. The story is inspired by four girls from Harvard who created a soccer ball that captures energy from kicking, dribbling and throwing. Kids can play a game, then bring the ball home and charge a LED lamp, cell phone or battery. These young girls used their education to create a valuable product that enables students halfway across the globe to continue their education by studying at night. Take your first step by voting, volunteering or donating with Members Project.
