The MOVE (Mobile Outreach Vehicle) truck is designed to travel to communities hit hard by natural disasters and infrastructure failures to provide rechargeable power banks, real-time survivor information and Wi-Fi until regular services can be restored.
When the MOVE truck is not deployed for disasters, it will be used for STEM-related activities as well as public appearances.
