Inspiration and What it Does

As we walked around our school campus, we noticed that non-recyclable items were often thrown away with recyclable items and vice versa. So we aimed to create something that would encourage students to recycle. Our device initially asks our users to input their login information. From there, they will dispose of their recyclable items in the bin. The number of items the user drops in the bin will determine the number of points that will be added to their account.
