A) Problem definition:
The locality of Lathan has been completely in blackout for months, and given the socio-economic, security, and political problems that the whole country and its leaders are going through, restoring electricity is not their priority, and even less so. science education. Living in the area, I see the dismay of the residents, mostly young people, reckless schoolchildren for others, dreaming of the opportunity to recharge their batteries and learn a little science, in addition to learning about the country’s news. Astro-Boost Canal will be a local online station providing electric charging services for mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.), podcasts in the Haitian language based on astronomy, scheduled and regular readings of written texts by academics, open doors to young guests to express themselves live on science in general, opportunity for teachers in the area to explain a little science life, and many other opportunities.B) Astro-Boost Channel proposed solution:
1. To positively impact their scientific learning, a set of online activities (recorded and live) will be oriented towards the training of young people;
2. For the recharging of the mobile devices of the community plunged into the blackout for months, the source of electrical energy of the station will serve as the main recourse;
3. To express themselves live on their real impressions of science and on their dreams, hours of the live broadcast will be planned for young people in the neighborhood.
4. To ensure the regular reading of scientific works by academics, a recorded text will be provided regularly by a member of the student community.
5. To facilitate Internet access, the WI-FI signal will be shared
6. To facilitate local audio production, recording services will be offered
7. To promote certain local entrepreneurial or artistic innovations, the station will agree to produce and/or broadcast advertising or other specific recordings.
8. To encourage and promote the teachers of the fundamental section of the locality, they will be involved in the realization of certain live broadcasts.
