The Green Team
Our project is about water. Around the world people are dying from contaminated water, so we are creating a solution! I, Zach and Daniel
have made a filter that will turn dirty water into clean and drinkable water that we hope will help the world. This solution will contain
all dirty water and convert it into clean water using a filter. The filter will have UV lights, charcoal, rocks, sand and coffee filter to
filter out the dirty water. If this succeeds we want to show this invention to the world to hopefully make it a better place. if we fail we
will try to improve it and make it better.

Super Plastic Scientists
Australia has been sending recycling rubbish to developing countries rather than solving the problem locally. We investigated different ways
to recycle plastics and explored a range of solutions. We decided that we will need to establish local recycling infrastructure to solve
this issue properly and then invented the super plastic processor which can melt and remould plastics into plastic pellets. Plastics
that can’t be recycled will be provided to maggots as food sources.

Smart Gardener
The Walliston Whizz kids have used their STEM skills to develop a solution to the problem of not having enough space or time to manage a
vegetable garden. The Smart Gardener. A fully automated ‘vertical’ garden, that will fit into any backyard and provide people with the
benefits of a backyard garden, without the hassle of maintenance. Using robotics and featuring a unique phone app, the smart gardener
combines science, mathematics and coding to create a simple user experience for the consumer.

Seismic Activity Protection
The Seismic activity protection protocols aims to help protect people from seismic related activity such as earthquakes and tsunamis. We
built a seismometer from arduino electronic components and then wrote the programming to evaluate the degree of movement the seismometer
‘felt’. We also used computer aided design to demonstrate how it wold work and costed the materials required to build it.
