Makerspace- Bottle lids

This week we were given a problem to solve. Bottle lids are too small to fit the recycling machines so they have to go into the red rubbish bins. Our challenge was to design and create a solution to this problem.

First, we brainstormed as many solutions as we could think of.

Next, we choose our best idea and made a plan including what we would do and what materials we would need.

After that, we built our solutions and tested them out. Some of us created art with the bottle lids, some of us built keyboards and MacKenzie made a game using the bottle lids. Finally, we reflected on how our creations solved the problem and thought about how we could improve them.
