Session description

Learn how 5th and 6th-grade students come up with solutions to reuse exotic PET materials and turn them into 3D printers and pencil filaments. Using Design Thinking, students empathize, research, design, develop, and program a prototype using Arduino UNO and Ender V3 components.

Outline

Introduction (10 minutes): Students will use a google presentation to talk about the context and historical background on the issue of environmental pollution by plastics. They will talk a bit about how the project relates to SDG 13: Climate Action and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

Action (20 minutes): They will give a show of their prototype and explain what each component does and how the plastic is recycled into PET which will later be used to print a 3D model.

Conclusion (5 minutes): Students will give a short talk to raise awareness about the current situation of the environment and climate change, promoting the SDGs and the care of our planet.
