Alice Chun

Alice Chun shares an inspiring story of innovation and invention. Her focus on solar energy began when she was a material technology specialist and started sewing solar panels to fabric and thin plastic. After the Haiti earthquake, Alice turned her studio into an innovation studio to help Haiti. She realized that 2.6 billion people live without access to electricity and are using kerosene to light their world, spending a third of their income on it. Alice designed collapsible solar lights with Origami that are simple yet beautiful and can be fit into hundreds in a box. She has distributed these lights in war-torn areas and natural disasters, bringing hope and utility to those in need.
