When you walk through the city, notice how some recycling bins are overflowing with mixed materials while others are neatly sorted. What factors influence how people sort their waste, and how can technology help improve this process?

Recycling is crucial for reducing waste and conserving resources, yet the complexity of sorting materials often leads to inefficiencies and contamination in recycling processes. Understanding these challenges can help improve waste management systems and promote environmental sustainability. How can we design and program ozobots to simulate a recycling process, so that our school can better understand the importance of sorting waste correctly?

Observe and categorize recyclable materials to identify patterns and understand recycling symbols. Explore real-world recycling challenges by designing and testing ozobot paths that simulate waste movement through a facility. Create and refine these paths based on observations and peer feedback. Present findings and proposed solutions through a class debate, highlighting the importance of proper waste sorting.
