It contains a solar-powered lamp to provide light for students while conducting projects in the hub and storage compartments for students to place their belongings.

Charging ports are provided in the desk to charge electronic devices. The dimensions of the desk are based on anthropometric data of students of ages 14 - 18 years old. Feasible concepts of the product are generated and the final concept is selected based on product specifications such as aesthetics, cost, function, size, materials, environment-friendliness, and safety. The product is termed a better solution for use in ODC hub by its in-charge, Miss Follows Smith and the in-charge of renewable energy project at JIS, Dr. Lloyd.
