Built with schools. Designed to grow with them.
A practical guide for administrators: what the room needs, what Waste2Light supplies, and how the first practical session gets scheduled.
What the room needs.
Grounded in the Green Energy Corner setup guidelines.
Who it is for
- Primary schools running introductory practical science
- Secondary schools building STEM and electronics capability
- Institutions preparing students for engineering pathways
Minimum laboratory requirements
- A dedicated, secure room that can be reserved for practical work
- Room dimensions recorded and photographed before setup
- Space for a teaching area and separate practical benches
Furniture
- Practical work tables suitable for group work
- Seating for a full class
- Lockable storage for kits and components
- A display surface or shelving for finished projects
Electrical & digital infrastructure
- Working sockets serving the practical benches
- Adequate lighting for detailed component work
- Internet access and a display screen where possible
Safety
- Safety provisions in place before the first practical
- Supervised handling of components and instruments
- Clear procedures for storage and end-of-session checks
A space designed for making.
The Green Energy Corner is organised into zones so a class can move from explanation to build to demonstration without rearranging the room.
Where a session opens. Concepts, briefs and demonstrations are delivered to the whole class before hands reach the components.
Built with schools. Designed to grow with them.
A clear split of responsibilities keeps setup realistic and the programme sustainable.

The setup checklist.
Worked through together, in order, before the room opens to students.
- 01Confirm the room to be used as the Green Energy Corner
- 02Record room dimensions and take photographs
- 03Build practical furniture to the recommended standard
- 04Confirm electrical infrastructure and sockets
- 05Prepare a display area for student projects
- 06Arrange internet access where possible
- 07Put safety provisions in place
- 08Take delivery of and inventory the kits
- 09Complete teacher orientation
- 10Run the first practical session
- 11Document the first student projects
Start small. Build something bigger.
The first five kits are the beginning, not the destination. Each level adds capability to the same room.
- Track 1
Green Energy
The starting point. Practical solar, wind and energy work with real components.
- Track 2
Electronics
Circuits, measurement, components and fault-finding as a discipline of their own.
- Track 3
Arduino & Coding
Microcontrollers, sensors and code layered onto the energy fundamentals.
- Track 4
Robotics
A separate expansion kit taking students into control and automation.
- Track 5
3D Printing
Students move from assembling parts to designing and producing their own.
- Track 6
Maker / Prototyping
Fabrication, tooling and the workflow of turning an idea into a built object.
- Track 7
Advanced Renewable Energy
A full technology laboratory capable of serious student engineering.
Practical projects from about ₦3,000.
Rather than one-time kit sales, Waste2Light provides fixed-price practical project packs. Part of every practical stays with the school.
₦2,500 → Waste2Light
Project materials, technical support and programme delivery for each student practical.
₦500 → School Innovation Account
Reinvested by the school into STEM materials, maintenance, student projects and future innovation activities.
Indicative pricing for a standard starter practical. Final structure is agreed with each school.
Superior Minds Academy
The school provides the laboratory space and works with its own carpenters to build furniture to Waste2Light's recommended laboratory standards, then progressively introduces a smart TV, reliable internet, 3D printing and robotics equipment.
Deployment scope
- Five Green Energy STEM Kits
- Laboratory setup guidelines
- Teacher guidance
- Practical learning resources
- Digital learning content
- Student practical projects
