2025 STEAM EXPO

PROJECT SUMMARY

This project is basically a plan of a business (Ecohands PY) on how we can cleanup Paraguay, the trash on sidewalks and the stuff on the costanera beach. I would hire artisans to make art out of this trash and sell it. I would use this money to pay the artisans and maybe expand the business to other parts of Asuncion/Paraguay.

WHY?

My cousins visited recently and they are around 3-5 ages, we went to the costanera and they wanted to look for seashells, but we found bottle caps instead. I realized there was a lot of trash all around Asuncion/ Paraguay so I came up with a simple Idea to use robot cars with the ability to filter out the sand and take the trash and use it to make art with the help of local artisans also promoting Paraguays culture.

HOW?

I decided to make a business, like I mentioned before using trash from around Asuncion and creating art with the help of local artisans, selling it, and then using that money to pay the artisans and invest in growing the company.

WHAT?

I ran this idea through some teachers and parents, they all thought this was a good idea so now we would have to make this business come to life. We would start with making the robots and doing the math to see how many we need and programming it to filter out the trash.

SO WHAT?

In the following long break we will start this project and will follow up to see how its coming, hopefullly it works!

WHAT'S NEXT?

Some things we need to consider is how to price the objects we make so we can make a profit after paying off the artisans and where are shops would be set up also we need to take care of advertising with the money we earned.

My social studies teacher has helped me making this, including my parents who helped giving feedback on how to make this project in progress better.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

Interesting! This is a clear example of a problem being transformed into a potential action. I can tell that you've given the general model thought by proposing a cyclical business model as well as identifying locations for collection. The next step would be to design a tool (such as an app or model) that could be used to bring the project to life!
