Abstract
There is an increasing trend of renewable energy applications as a means of energy source in Tanzania. Many initiatives on renewable energy applications are focused on increasing their accessibility and usability preferably for electrification of Off-grid rural areas. In addition to providing eco-friendly energy supply, renewable energy applications have a great potential in addressing other socio-economic challenges including motivation of students to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects and careers. A pilot project was conducted to examine the use of the renewable energy application as a tool for promoting STEM subjects to secondary school students in Tanzania. Through sustainable manufacturing approach, a sample of three different photovoltaic toys was produced by re-designing second-hand toys together with re-using waste-broken solar panels. This serves as an edutainment to enhance STEM teaching and learning that can easily and sustainably be adopted with the local context.
