Wishful Recycling Challenge

Before Vermont closed its schools for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, students at the Integrated Arts Academy in Burlington, VT had the opportunity to participate in a wishful recycling challenge to see what things they could create with things that don’t belong in our blue bins. They created pieces ranging from simple to complex: towers, volcanoes, patterns and grids of color and imagination. One student wondered what it would be like to construct a boat of recycled materials that would remove plastics and waste from our waterways and made a prototype. Scroll through photos of their creations below. We hope you had as much fun with your wishful recycling challenge!

This week, our challenge is to build and create with cardboard boxes. Send us photos of what you make!
