Discover the life cycle of every-day things!

The project started with the idea of having a website created by students last year. And it worked out fine!

After launching the website “Don’t waste my energy” a year ago, this year’s topic was “Don’t waste my resources!”. All website contributions have been created by students within the new (bilingual) teaching subject “Technik & Umwelt”.

The life cycles of 25 “things” had to be discovered as far and as intensely as possible in the given time by 63 students: i.e. finding the roots of its origin (e.g. natural resources, mineral resources, natural/artificial substances, biological/technical cycles) and its end of life (end of pipe) or rebirth (reuse, recycle, etc.).

Brand new was the teams’ way of propagation: For the making of and our website promotion social media channels had been involved. The teams experimented with interaction channels as facebook, instagram, twitter & reddit.
