12. Semester 2 - The Green Challenge – NO trash!!!
THE CHALLENGE: Green Engineering
The Problem: Turn trash into something useful.
Outcomes: Improve a design, Create a prototype
Theme: Sustainability
Engineers find ways to improve existing products. One way to make an item better is to use fewer raw materials to make it or use other materials to make something new.
In this hands-on challenge, you will consider ways to repurpose Trash and invent an environmentally friendly object that can be used around your home, community, or school. In the process, you consider what it means to be "green," identify low-impact alternatives for common items, and use the design process to devise a "green" object that could be useful to you or someone else.
