Let There be Light Foundation International is providing safe, efficient solar powered lights to children and elders in Uganda. On this Martin Luther King Day, join us in sponsoring some of those lights.

Construct an Africa pendant that will remind you where the lights you are are contributing will shine.
Construct an experiment that will let you blend lights to make unexpected multicolor shadows.
Then choose a third project: a mini traffic light, an LED top, or a sculpture of your own design.

Produce a short film using stop motion animation, a photographic process invented over a century ago which is still used in movies and cartoons to this day. You'll draw and build scenery, characters, and props out of building toys, paper, fasteners, and tape, then tell your epic tale in 60 seconds.
