MUSE School CA CO-FOUNDER SUZY AMIS CAMERON UNVEILS SOLAR SUN FLOWERS DESIGNED BY HUSBAND JAMES CAMERON MUSE School CA announced today the first solar Sun Flowers installed on their campus designed by filmmaker James Cameron as a gift for his wife and MUSE School Co-Founder Suzy Amis Cameron. MUSE School is a non-profit school offering personalized, passion-based learning and sustainability mission founded by Suzy Amis Cameron and her sister, educator Rebecca Amis. The campus’ Sun Flowers will offset the site’s power usage between 75% and 90%, depending on available daylight at the campus. To encourage similar projects, the design for the Sun Flowers will be open source, and the plans will be published online. A patent is pending to forestall outside parties from attempting to claim authorship of the design, restricting open-source use.
