For the last few weeks, 10:10ers around the world have been building the skills and confidence to repair clothes, bikes, computers, and anything else that needs a bit of TLC to keep it at its best.

Helping my old school go solar

11 May 12

My memories of school are, by and large, fond ones but I, probably like many people, have not had any contact with these places of my childhood since I left. That’s all about to change though - I've emailed my old school to suggest that they apply to take part in Solar Schools.

Being involved in the project makes me totally biased, sure, but I wish there had been something like this to get involved in when I was at school.

Checking the school’s website I’ve found my favourite science teacher is still there. The rest of the names mean nothing to me but it has been cough a few years since I left!

I'm hoping my old science teacher remembers me ... I imagine teachers only really remember the unruly students and the overachieving whizz-kids! I didn't fall into either of those categories but even if he doesnt remember me, the Solar Schools idea speaks for itself!
