Through this project, students will develop essential skills in coding, problem-solving, and environmental awareness.

Key Activities:

• Research and Analysis: Students will investigate environmental issues and gather data.
• Coding and Design: Using Kitroniks and Micro:Bits, students will create programs to monitor environmental conditions and implement solutions.
• Model Creation: Students will design and build physical models using recyclable materials.
• Presentation: Students will present their projects and explain their solutions to a wider audience.

Learning Outcomes:

• Develop coding skills and problem-solving abilities.
• Understand the scientific method and its application to real-world problems.
• Gain knowledge of environmental issues and sustainable practices.
• Enhance teamwork and collaboration skills.
• Develop critical thinking and creativity.
