We worked on a STEM project with Mr Fallon over the past number of weeks and submitted it to Abbvie for the STEM competition. We were concerned with the amount of plastic that ends up in our rivers, lakes and seas and came up with a wonderful idea called the Deflector Collector. This prototype does exactly as the title says- it deflects waste from the water and collect it in a net. We were thrilled with our results and hope it is something that could be introduced to our waterways to reduce the amount of waste.
