Renew

Renew is a versatile, open-source solution for charging multiple personal electronic devices. The project enables users to build their own charging station using accessible materials, tools, and off-the-shelf components.

An easy-to-follow guide walks the maker through a set of adaptable processes, tailored to whatever materials they have on hand.

As new connectors, charging standards, and devices emerge, the maker can update their station to suit their evolving needs — eliminating the cycle of disposal and replacement, and challenging throwaway culture.
