The Net#work scoop is also the second Grand Prix ever to be bestowed on SA. With this idea and others, Mike Schalit from Net#work reckons he is going to prove that creativity can change the world – not politics.

Allegedly the first of its kind in the world, the solar panel billboard turns sunshine into electricity and powers up the MC Weiler School kitchen in the Alexander Township, saving the school approximately R2000 a month in electricity bills. The billboard is currently being patented for use in school sites all over SA.
