On monday, we narrowed down our prototypes to an SAS farmers market and the interactive recycling bin. The working name for the farmers market is: freSH A S, it would take place outside the quest room near the pending garden SAS is already working on. The other idea is recyclball, an interactice recycling bin with a hoop on top to get students to enjoy recycling. Students could film themselves making trick shots, and then upload it to social media with a #sastainability for the chance to win house points. We would also like to have a motion sensor attached so when they make the shot on a screen above a fact about the environment at SAS would pop up. We are still facing a lot of problems like what location would be best and if it is in the foyer admin might have to approve it, and if students want to dunk and the box is made of cardboard it could break easily. Also, we need to figure out a better system for SAVE club to be able to collect the recycled paper from this box easily and efficiently. Once we made our miniature prototype we tested it on a couple random students and they all had fun participating and said they would enjoy recycling like this. We couldn't really decide on a location, so we had the idea of putting the bin on wheels so we could move it around and it would always be an exciting change.
