Twice as Nice Recycling Project

the problem:

Do Something, Brooks! sponsored a "Twice as Nice" recycling contest. The challenge to the entire school was to create a work of art, a game, toy, craft, or anything else from recycled, reused materials. The goal was to think about and learn ways to reuse or recycle materials, instead of throwing things away. We challenged the school to go beyond, stretch their imaginations and inventive skills. At least 50% of the project had to be made of recycled materials. Entries were displayed in the LMC for a week. Do Something Captains were the judges and one winner was chosen from each grade level. Captains used a rubric to assess and decide on winners. Winners got a pizza lunch with 3 friends. 32 students participated and a good time was had by all!
