We are proud to announce the winners of Makers Empire’s Design Thinking competition from June: Splash Down!
In this competition, students were challenged to design a landing pad where bees could safely access the water to drink.
This was the original design challenge:
We enjoyed all of the competition submissions! The students created such thoughtful, practical and creative designs that would help bees access water. Here we highlight the winner and runners-up for the June Splash Down competition. You can also view these designs as well as past competition winners in our Hall of Fame.
Designer Description: I think my design should win because it’s got trees, flowers and some water. I think this will be a safe place for a bee to land.
Designer description: Cause it has a landing space for a bee, it also has a bee and trees and a waterhole and much much more.
How amazing are these designs!? Congratulations again to our winners!
