Eat and charge your phone

WASHINGTON (AP) - April 15, 2011

Some Catholic University students have designed a solar-powered picnic table.

Students can juice up their cellphones while they have a bite to eat.

The six students who designed the picnic table will be honored today by University President John Garvey.

Theirs was the winning design in a contest last year.

There are more than 1,000 solar panels installed on the Washington campus of Catholic U.

The school is adding 440 more to create one of the largest solar power systems in the nation's capital.
