Although the county’s recycling is ranked third highest in the state, the items that get placed in recycle bins cannot be recycled and have to be manually sorted out.

They become aware of this need after grocery shopping- if they bought fruit. Yet, as their diet is primarily fruits and vegetables as they exclude any meat or dairy products, they frequently purchase fruits. As such, the amount of fruit and its quality is a problem they consider each time they go to prepare ...

I’ve been exposed to entrepreneurship in my past Innovation Academy courses. The projects were centered on finding a problem, recognizing the people who are affected by it, and developing a product or service catering to them. Entrepreneurship and its relation to market, product development, and sales were all explored. I enrolled in ENT3003 as it’s required for my Innovation Academy minor. I hope to fulfill the minor. Above is a presentation on a product my Innovation group developed aiming to aid children to learn a second language before attending school.
