Project Activities

1

Kick-off: Meet the partner class and map our waste

Students meet their partner class by video call, then walk around their school and community to spot plastic, metal, and paper waste and note how it affects the local environment.

Duration: 25 minutes
2

Frame the problem and plan our recycled creations

Teams use a 'How might we...?' question to define a local waste problem, then sketch and plan a toy or decorative object made from bottles, cans, or paper.

Duration: 55 minutes
3

Build and document our recycled prototypes

Teams build their toy or decorative object step by step, taking photos and writing simple instructions so partner classes can follow their process.

Duration: 105 minutes
4

Exchange prototypes and compare recycling solutions

Teams share their prototypes and instructions with the partner class, then compare approaches and discuss which designs protect the environment best and why.

Duration: 80 minutes
5

Improve our design using partner feedback

Teams review the feedback they received and improve their prototype, explaining which changes came from the partner class and why.

Duration: 425 minutes
6

Showcase our recycled creations and reflect together

Teams present their final toy or decorative object to the partner class by video call, explain which designs they think best protect the environment, and reflect on what they learned.
