Coast to Coast: Maintaining Healthy Habitats

In this design challenge, students will be presented with the following problem: Our ecosystem’s population balance has a problem with an invasive species. It is running rampant and out of control. There’s simply too many of them due to having no natural predator. As a result, some of the native species are being negatively impacted.

The students will work together to design a tool or process that successfully removes the invasive species in an ecosystem while minimizing harm to the native species and environment.
