Scientific Project ...from Italy

Hi guys !!!

For our project, everyone has thought of waste that we could reduce and then we voted the ideas. The investigation revealed that the most popular idea is to reduce the packaging of foods, such as packs of chips, which are not completely full. These days, we are doing research to find out which products have excessive packaging and we should reduce them.

                                                                                           

          

Italian team

Hello, we are 13 boys between 12-15 years of secondary school of Carimate, in January we will participate in the competition of robotics organized by the FLL.

The name of our team is Ri-cicloni.

Carimate is a small town near Milan.

We are divided into 4-5 groups to work and each of us is responsible for different tasks.

Our idea for the scientific project focuses on reducing packaging; for example, you could put more chips into packs, this will produce a lot less waste.

We have already participated in this challenge last year and we have a site that we'd love if you visit it.

Hi again!




All the groups thought which were the most important problems about the oil. After that, every group made a brainstorming about solutions to solve the problems. We have thought problems which happen in our town. The most releveant problems are the following ones:

• There are not many places to collect oil and the places which are nearer are too far away.
• The oil they receive is dirty.
• When the oil is useless it is really hot.
• It is difficult to handle.
• It is not comfortable to accumulate.
• It is not funny to recycle.
• The population don't know much about the problems that can happen if we don't recycle oil.

This is a summary of the problems each group thought about. Then, every group thought of different solutions to solve this problems. These are the solutions, we've thought (some of them are a bit crazy):

• Make oil cubes (like ice cubes).
• Put a gadget in the bottle or deposit you use to recycle that make that the oil change of color to make it funnier to recycle.
• Make a deposit that when you throw oil in it, it makes different sounds, also to make it funnier.
• Make a hole in the sink which takes the oil to a kind of recycling deposit.
• Make a sponge that transports the oil.
• Make a machine which makes soap with the oil.
• Make a boiler which works with oil.
• Create an aplication which keeps the dump business informed about who has oil to recycle.
• Create a kind of advertisment to make the population know what not to recycle oil entails.
• Make a deposit which has a balance that tells you when the deposit is full.

In general, we've thought that the best idea is a set of all of them. We think it's important to make it funny, so we think that we could make a kind of deposit which make the process of collecting oil easier, funnier, cleaner and try to make the people know what not to recycling oil entails.

Hello world!

Hi!

We are some students about 15-16 years old from “Institut de Gurb” and we are writing this from the subject of technology.

First of all, Gurb is a small town near Barcelona (60 km). Our class is participating in the FLL competition. As you know, in this competition, we have to do a scientific project and a robot game.

This year the scientific project is about trash problems . We divided our class  in three groups of 4-5 students. Each group has thought about a trash problem.

Finally, after each group researched different trash problems we’ve chosen the one that we think is the best: the recycling of cooking oil.

Right now, each group is looking for solutions to solve the problem.  

Here we’re attaching some videos that each group made which are about all the problems we have thought.
