Room 16's Maker Space activity for weeks 1 and 2 is to find some solution for the current problem of Hamilton City. With the move from old recycle bins to new ones, plastic bottle caps are not to be recycled anymore. This meant that plastic bottle caps will end up in the regular bins and add up to our rubbish. Room 16 tamarikis brainstormed together and thought about some ideas on how they can re-use bottle caps so they do not end up with general rubbish. Days of brainstorming and planning ended with a day to 'create' and put their ideas into reality. Some students made useful home display such as photo frames, coasters while some went to the extra ordinary like game boards, animal figures and transportation vehicles. It was indeed a very fruitful and fun day for the tamariki, this also created in them a love for the environment because we want to help reduce waste materials.
