Greywater Gadgetry
Create a two-part system for filtering greywater. Teams will focus on communication and systems engineering as they build separate components to filter solid and liquid waste and then combine them into one device.
Resources
Objectives:
- Consider the potential effects of drought and how greywater could be part of the solution.
- Design a system for filtering out solid waste or liquid waste.
- Consider effective communication strategies with their team.
- Collaborate on their design ideas to create a single two-part filtration system.
