Hi Aaron, I want to win the money so I can build a mdel to take to schools to demonstrate how we need to change the way we use energy as we use more solar and wind power. These aren’t always on (because the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow) so we need to balance how much electricity we use and find ways of storing it (like in battery) so we can use it when there is no wind or sun.

This is a really interesting problem to solve and will require future engineers to help solve it!
