Goal: Engineering a possible solution to track, trap, and attack an invasive / unwanted species.

Description: This PBL design challenge focused on how to track, trap, and attack aphids within agriculture and what controls currently exist to keep them from impacting yield and plant health. Then, after the process was modeled each 8th grade advisory (homeroom) voted on an invasive / unwanted species to focus on in their class teams. Some chose wild boars, the spotted lantern fly, corn root worm, and others picked aquatic invasives that ODNR checks for on Lake Erie. These advisory teams created themed exhibits for guests to tour during our annual project highlight event known as expo night.
