🌊 Ready to outsmart litter before it reaches the ocean?

Become an environmental engineer as you investigate how trash travels through waterways and discover creative ways to stop it before it harms wildlife. Inspired by the innovative work of Boyan Slat and the story of I Can Save the Ocean!, students will engineer a model litter-trapping device that lets water flow while capturing solid waste.

With engaging investigations, hands-on engineering, colorful printables, and meaningful discussions, this STEM with Soul lesson encourages Future Generations, Initiative, and Stewardship while helping learners see how even small actions can create big waves of positive change.

Who knew saving the ocean could begin with a simple engineering idea? Students will discover that thoughtful designs today can help create cleaner waterways and healthier habitats for tomorrow.
