Our project

We utilized the Huskylens to perform object classification to categorize the garbage into recyclables and non-recyclables. When a bottle is deposited into our machine, a message is sent to another micro:bit. This prompts the motor to activate, dispensing water as a form of reward for the recycling effort. Our project is intended for use in beach settings where individuals can participate in cleanup activities to earn the water needed to clean themselves.

Our inspiration

The beach is a beloved destination for many people today. Unfortunately, this popularity often leads to litter being left behind, posing a serious threat to marine life.

To combat this issue, we have designed an innovative project to help protect our oceans. Recognizing that beachgoers often need water to wash off sand, we have created a system that rewards water to individuals for disposing of recyclable trash. With our project, people can earn water with their good deed. This project encourages eco-friendly behavior for a cleaner environment. It can inspire and motivate people to recycle, ultimately reducing the amount of litter on beaches. Together, we can make the world cleaner place
