Our Landfills
In this problem-solving lesson, students learn about our landfills and come up with a solution using robots!
Did you know, according to data from Waste Business Journal, American landfills only have about 11-16 years of capacity left. Students create code that will command a robot to identify and retrieve items from landfills that can be either recycled, repurposed, or composted. They should be familiar with coding, using colored sensors, and Lego Education SPIKE Prime Set or other robotics kits prior to this lesson.
