In this project we were supposed to brainstorm, think, and design and solution to a world problem of our choice. Our world problem we chose was starvation; specifically in the African country of Eritrea. Our solution was an underground greenhouse. We built our scale model using dirt, wood dowels, succulents ( to represent food ) and plastic sheeting ( to mimic the roof ). We were able to calculate the amount of greenhouses per village and it was 2. This project really opened my eyes to a country I know little about, to how bad starvation is in the big picture.
