EXCELLENCE IN SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Our project was all about fighting plastic pollution. Every time I visited Costanera, a riverfront in Paraguay, I saw so much plastic litter, and it bothered me. So, I decided to do something about it. We collected plastic bottles and turned them into art. It was fantastic to see how being creative could help keep the environment and animals clean and safe.

My friend and i did a project of a lamp.We first found some plastic bottles and split them in half. Later we wrapped them in yarn and inserted a light in with a little bit of help.We really loved working on this creative and original project in this quarter.

first my partner and me researched what projects we could do with plastic bottles, we decided to do a lamp with bottles, we decided to separate the work and she will rap the cut into bottles with yarn, and I will do all the electricity, we tried it on school, and it magicaly worked
Our project was a monopoly game that was based in the movies and series of books The Hunger Games, in the game you could choose your player, with more or less power, and you will try to gain or lose advantages through the several challenges and quests. In this game you will be able to dive into the Dystopian world of Panem.
EXCELLENCE IN SOCIAL AND STRUCTURAL SUSTAINABILITY
My main problem to fix is unsustainability and pollution. My project is a model in minecraft of a sustainable city idea, this city shows electric cars, community hospitals, free apartments for the homeless and so much more. Our development also has small details all over it, like free food fridges and free libraries(Take a book, leave a book!).
My Project is a Volcano explosion that I made just creating things, for example I used cardboard mixed with glue and water and that’s how I made my dough so that I could then make the form of the volcano with a bottle in the middle wich will contain the mixture so that it explodes. This idea was a mix of science and steam.
My problem is that there is a lot of litter in paraguay and whe vistors form otrher contries come and visti its usally very dirty and looks very ugly and it just gives the vibe like paraguay is a very dirty place on top of that trash is very ihigenic and can get sick from trash laying around and i think tahts very bad
Our problem (or question if you will) was how do we make a Table top role-playing game that can correctly portray and influence our cause (How the world would look like in a dystopian future with war and destruction. Humanity is slowly going towards that, And If we influence enough people it might slow down the inevitable for at least a bit.
Having a regular lock has many disadvantages, such as needing the physical key to enter, the risk of losing your keys, and the possibility of the key being copied. However, with our technological lock, you can have more freedom to control and enable access to your home, providing enhanced security."

Our problem is that there's always a queue at our school cafeteria, and many students end up not eating due to the long lines. Our project is called "Delicias del Sol - The Hungry Corner!" Our solution was to create a prototype of an app to pre-order your meal a day in advance, thus avoiding these long lines and allowing everyone to have their snack on time.
The project I want to present is called the paper table project. This project tackles the question of environmentally sustainable building a table this is important because when somone is building a table with non-environemntal materials they wast a lot of time and resources and when they build it with paper the project and be redone many times my results where that you can build it out of paper and still save cost and help the environment.
The problem we identified is that carrying too many materials or heavy backpacks causes back, shoulder, neck pain, and poor posture. To avoid these issues, we created a virtual notebook, the application is called CDS WEB. You have an account with all your subjects, and every time you click on a subject, a new sheet is added. This means instead of carrying 11 notebooks and a pencil case, you only need to bring a device like a computer or tablet. We believe this will have a positive impact on high school students and teachers.
EXCELLENCE IN FIG-MASTERING
Our prototype is an application called SAFE DRIVE. We chose traffic as the problem because some traffic lights only allow about 4 or 3 cars to pass and then turn red, causing people to arrive late to places. For our solution, we decided to create an app so that people who use their cell phones while driving know when the traffic light is green or red and when a traffic light is not functioning.
EXCELLENCE IN 3D MODELING
The name of our device is a homemade water filter, as its name indicates, it is a filter which seeks to solve the water shortage that will arrive at some point and that there may be more easily accessible and slightly cheaper solutions. What we hope to achieve with our project is to filter water easily and we try to make a change and at the same time show how easy and beneficial it can be with materials that can be found in your home.
Our solution is to create a website where there will be all the necessary information so that others can understand and help - if necessary - people with special abilities. It contains varied resources, guides and will also help architects and engineers when choosing, designing and planning more accessible and tolerant structures and homes for people who live their daily lives differently than others.
For my Project, I made a 3D shark made out of cardboard, which was articulated so it would separate and move around with its body parts: the head and tail. This articulated shark would be connected together by a clip; since it was metal and could bend, it would not separate, and it would be able to move around easily. Extra details were added like fins, teeth and eyes to make the shark look realistic.
