The Micro-Plastics and Endangered Caribou Tracker project intends to reduce the amount of micro-plastics in the Arctic Ocean and invent a better way to track disappearing caribou herds through a scientific and inquiry based project. This project will follow the design thinking process to create/test prototypes to attempt to solve these issues, as well as build empathy for all people living in the Arctic and around the world.
