Define
The challenge that the group and I have decided to solve is the overwhelming use and waste of electricity. Sometimes, when leaving a room, people can forget to turn their lights off, therefore wasting electricity, which emits carbon and methane in to the atmosphere, trapping the gases there, which then contributes to climate change.
Discover & Dream
This problem has been given a solution before by turning the lights off in your house, but as I mentioned previously, we are naturally forgetful beings. Even if it is a mistake, these mistakes can add up and impact the world in a negative way. Our group came up with the options of renewable resources, and energy-efficient products.
Our group dreams of having less energy wasted with our light sensors which turn on whenever you enter the room, and turn off whenever you exit the room.
Deliver
Our answer to part of the problem is light sensors. We have created these sensors with the help of microbit, as I will show here now:
Debrief
First, my group began coding the microbit.
Then, we began working on the wires and hooking the microbit up to the wires. Our group was very successful with this project!
