Why as a team did you choose to focus on this challenge?

We decided to focus on this challenge because it is a growing problem and we think it needs to be slowed down and stopped. We want to try find a solution or product that can help reduce the problem.


What do you know now about the challenge that you didn't know before?

tractors can be powered off methaine.


What have you learnt about your Hero?

People who want a more efficient and sustainable farm. Their challenge is that they are polluting the earth and are contributing to climate change so they need to have a way to reduce this.


If you could improve one thing for your Hero what would that be?

we would improve the amount of pollution that they cause to the earth.


Do you have any ideas for a potential solution? No matter how raw, share them with your Mentors for feedback.

Our solution is a methane extractor in a cow shed that will collect up the methane and use it to power methane tractors.


Ask your Mentor anything …. This is a chance to ask your Mentors a direct question relating to your Big Idea.

what they think about our idea and if it would help our heros in any way.
