They will explore and build sustainable sources of power, tinker solutions to help almost extinct animals to continue living, replace plastic with natural materials like mushrooms and build things with them, build robots to clean oceans, and plant seeds in seed balls made out of recycled paper, pay close attention to the science behind soil, use and reuse their resources! From growing mushrooms to building cool products with them to lighting things up with sustainable energy, cleaning ocean with smart robots, and planting seeds in paper balls and soil at the right PH level, participants will be invited to pay closer attention to our planet earth and build a better future for it.
