Warsaw Ecoligue III
The third edition of the competition “Warsaw Ecoligue III. Advice on electro-waste, or what to do with electro-waste”. It was attended by pupils and students of Warsaw schools and teachers, who competed in a new category.Electro-waste is an increasingly popular topic
According to the WHO, this is the category of waste whose production is growing the fastest. It is impossible to avoid them in our daily lives. We produce them in homes, schools and workplaces. In recent years, public awareness of this topic has been slowly increasing, but despite this, we often don't know what to do when it comes time to get rid of them. In this year's competition, students were tasked with finding, proposing and presenting solutions for their disposal.
Creatively about electro-waste Students approached the topic in different ways. They created posters, videos, informational newspapers, infographics, presentations, and even board games and animations. Teachers, in turn, prepared lesson plans to introduce students to what electro-waste is and how to dispose of it properly. The winners were rewarded with in-kind prizes: smartwatches, smartbands, solar mats for charging small devices or hiking backpacks and water filter bottles. Teachers, meanwhile, can look forward to e-readers. In addition, the winners' schools have also been rewarded. Soon students will be able to use interactive monitors, microscopes, visualizers and 3D printers during lessons.
