Our project

We learned about the water cycle and transpiration. Our project focuses on an evapotranspiration toilet which uses the principles of evaporation to work. The toilet is environmentally friendly and does not need water for flushing. We use micro:bits to simulate wind power and to control the lights on the building. We are also using a humidity sensor to monitor. We built a home next to the toilet that would use green power and has a low carbon footprint.

Our inspiration

For our project we learned about the Evapotranspiration Toilet from the students we are collaborating with from the Colegio Militar de Manaus Brazil. We have been meeting with the students from Manaus for two months now and are also learning how to speak Portuguese. We are also learning about the effect that climate change has on the Amazon and the cities like Manaus and Tefe.
