Design a Environmental Solution Engineering Challenge
There are a number of ways that humans are decreasing the biodiversity on Earth. Some of these processes are deforestation, habitat loss, salinization, urban runoff, air pollution, and water pollution. In this engineering challenge, students are asked to work in collaborative groups to design a solution to one of these problems, effectively increasing the biodiversity of the area. The engineering design process will guide groups through the creation of a prototype to address and fix the issue t
