Student Designed Community Cleaning Device

Help me give my students the tools needed to design community cleanup devices

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Preston's classroom raised $696

This project is fully funded

My Project

In an effort to clean our community, our students are designing devices to clean the surrounding community spaces. The designs will require students to pick up and transport trash and material from areas of difficult terrain. We hope that it will give students an opportunity to think about their community in a different way while teaching them engineering principals.

The cart we are requesting support for will be utilized as the platform for which the students will base their designs.

We hope they will design modular devices easy enough for community volunteers to use on a regular basis.
