Single-use plastics into eco-friendly designs
Tamara and I visited Momi from Mālama Hawaiʻi and Fine Arts Associates a cool art contest is kicking off in Hawaii. K-12 students interested in taking single-use plastics in their home and turning it into an eco-friendly design can participate in this event starting on February 9th through May 18th. That fits nicely into your semester, don’t you think, prof? Students can turn in drawings or computer-generated images of their designs for prizes of all kinds. For instance (drumroll!), the 5 winners will have their designs made into actual prototypes, get to tour the Sea Dragon when she pulls into port in July, spend a week in the Czech Republic at Art Mill, and exhibit with Safe Planet at the Rio+20 Global Conference in June. Kids, Momi is looking forward to seeing what you can do. Don’t disappoint! For teachers interested in getting involved, see www.artmill.edu or send your questions to artcontest@artmill.eu.
