I (Chrystal) want to thank you all for the great encouragement! This is a wonderful challenge for my dad and I, he is teaching me lots. I can't wait for this all to come together and work. I don't care if we win or not, if what I learn now can help me save a bit of the planet in the future, that is worth more then anything. I want to be an environmental biologist, so anything I can do now will only help me reach my goal.

I love the world as much as myself,

Hi Crystal, You did a great job and your dad is lucky to have such a smart partner for this project. Keep making those mistakes! I have learned that I seldom really learn things as well as I do when they are learned from mistakes. You indicated that you felt it was a waste to have to use 9 volts in order to read the 2 volts of the Solar Panel. Don't loose sight of the fact that the voltage is only one dimension of the real quantity of importance called POWER (Volts times Amps). Despite the difference in the numbers 9 volts and 2 volts the amount of actual power being used by the meter is probably very small compared to the power generated by a solar panel in direct sunlight. I look forward to reading more about your project.

Good job Crystal.

It takes a while to learn and remember all of the things you need to build electronics.

Luckily your dad has the right attitude to let you try and then explain what went wrong.

Keep on trying, there is a wonderful world of technology waiting for you to discover.
