1) DEFINE The problem that we are trying to solve is plastic or any type of garbage in the ocean polluting it or in endangering the sea creatures and their habitats. This is a really big problem and we tried coming up with a different way to solve this problem with our own idea. Our machine will hopeful be different then the rest of the machines that have been created for this project and in the real world.

2) DISCOVER Something that has been done before was about that had a parachute and an anchor. The project was called the Ocean Clean-up, the system consists of a 600-metre-long barrier that sits on the surface of the water as well as a skirt that prevents debris from escaping underneath. The wind, waves, and current push waste into the barrier, which is slowed down by an anchor, so it moves at slower speeds than the trash. More inventions and machine of been invented to help get rid of the waste that is in the oceans.

3) DELIVER

 

4) DEBRIEF Something that we did well on was not just creating a machine. We also created a place that actually disposes of the garbage and making something new out of it. We created a building that has beds, a library, a workstation, a crane to pull the bin up and dispose of the garbage and much more.
