"Bee The Hope"
Design Challenge: Design a sustainable solution that ensures a healthy bee population in West Michigan for years to come.
Project Overview: Due to multiple factors, the honeybee- an essential component of our existence as human beings, are dying every day at an alarming rate. Using a human centered design approach, students will explore contributing factors to the honeybee’s current trajectory and discover the importance of relationships in ecosystems.
