Saving the World with Soccer
Saving the world with soccer. The revolutionary sOccket is many things, a soccer ball, an eco-friendly portable generator, and - most importantly - a symbol of empowerment. Initially just a concept of Harvard undergrads Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman, sOccket has since become an award-winning solution to global energy challenges while inspiring youth to dream and create their own futures. Lucky for us, sOccket is just the first project for the Mathews and Silverman and their nonprofit, Uncharted Play, so we expect to see many more FUNctional ideas out of this dream team.
