YOLK 요크: Lighting the Way for Education

NHK World-Japan’s Direct Talk profiles Korean design firm, YOLK 요크 through its founder and CEO, Chang Sung-un. The video interview focuses specifically on the young company’s Solar Cow project/product, a human-centered effort to bring clean, renewable power to low density, low income areas of the developing world. The Solar Cow creates opportunities for powering connected devices like mobile phones as well as bringing much needed reliable lighting to homes and schools. These community-driven, iterative innovations are also opening doors for new ways of working – and more opportunities for learning.
