SAN QUENTIN ALL ACCESS COMPUTER CENTER PHASE I: DEPLOYMENT It’s our current goal to raise $20,000 by August 31st to assist in purchasing computers and industry-standard CAD software. Learn more

As part of our pilot program, we are installing a solar charging system for night-time lighting at an orphanage near Iquitos, Peru in August 2009. We will supplement the project with lessons on solar energy, including solar ovens and teaching the older students to build their own solar-powered radios. In addition, we will teach students the basics of disease transmission and hygiene by showing them their environment under a microscope and using various interactive games to show how disease can spread. Our goal is to demonstrate the benefits of science to an undereducated at-risk population. More information can be found at the Future Scientist Projects page. Learn more

1. Connect populations without access to emergency care to hospitals through mobile technology. 2. To build a successful pilot project for the summer of 2009 where we will donate cell phones to 50 villages in the state of Rajasthan in India and connect them to the doctors at the Narayan Sewa Santhan Hospital.

1. Increasing Awareness To bring members in the community together (i.e. Daraja staff, professors, activists, and community leaders) in order to discuss the educational issues affecting young girls in Kenya. 2. Promoting Change To provide information about resources that the audience can investigate if they wish to learn about the issues more deeply or wish to get involved in a cause. 3. Building Networks To create lasting contacts for Daraja in the Berkeley community by helping attendees reach out and establish connections with social action initiatives that are available both on and off campus.

The ultimate goal is to develop a framework for a decision-support system for emergency response, recovery prioritization, and risk management of civil infrastructure systems subjected to seismic events. Learn more

The goal of the lab is to research appropriate building materials, construction techniques and energy systems for non-profit organizations working with resource constrained communities. Learn more

Our goal is to apply collaborative and comprehensive solutions to problem of climate change, which, by its nature, demands interdisciplinary innovation. UC Berkeley is uniquely positioned to respond to this challenge. There is perhaps no other educational institution in the world with the breadth and depth of students studying business, law, public policy, science, and technology with the common aim of responding to the impending environmental crisis.In order to realize the benefits of this singular potential, we must provide forums in which students can share and build upon diverse backgrounds and bodies of knowledge.
