An energy kick

An all in one soccer ball, portable generator, community builder and global health tool, sOcket is a “shining example” of functional innovation and design. Developed by Harvard University students, this soccer ball turns energy from a kick into electricity, which is then used to charge lights, cell phones and batteries. For example, for every 15 minutes of play, sOcket can store enough energy to power a LED light for 3 hours. In a world where over 1.5 billion people live in areas with no access to electricity, the sport of soccer, with its global appeal, is a perfect partner.
