Abdra Traore is Charging the Future
Kettering grad student Abdra Traore is pursuing some big ideas in the fields of energy management and distribution. Last year, Abdra and fellow Kettering student Shahnoor Amin (currently a grad student at U of M Ann Arbor) created June Energy, a business focused on creating and implementing sustainable energy solutions. The most recent project for June Energy is a portable electronic charging station for developing countries. Abdra explains “One of the biggest challenges for remote villagers is not getting electronics, but keeping them charged.” The details of the project are being kept confidential at the moment, but the team plans to focus on bringing energy to communities of people, rather than individuals, through an innovative delivery method.
The June Energy team is no stranger to philanthropic projects, and have been involved in designing solar panel systems for remote villages in Guinea, West Africa. The grad students say that “We actively collaborate with our network of fellow students and teachers. We are making use of resources from both of our universities, and we have received great support thus far.” To read more about June Energy, or contact them, visit their website.
