I am learning to create something in technology to fix a problem in the bush. My idea is saving the bush. My question was How can we stop the pests?
Jacob and I worked together to make a prototype to trap or kill possums. We used some materials that were siting on the table that were care bored (cardboard) boxes, milk bottle lids, tooth sticks, plastic straws. The possum trap me and Jacob made was a trap that didn't kill possums straight away but it kept them trapped for a long time then the possums wood die from hunger. The thing that challenged me was figuring out what we could use to make the door drop down when the possum goes inside the trap. We used leaves to make the possum want to go inside because the leaves are possum food. I am proud of our technology invention because of all the thinking we did to make our prototype work to catch possums.
