He challenged them to find one thing that uses a lot of resources that are polluting and using up our natural resources. They invented a new protocol of a boat and car using everyday things that leaves a very small footprint on the planet. It has the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) components as the main theme of this program which has a direct connection to Standard G by using technology in science for investigation, inquiry, and anal
