Creating Duct Tape Products

Boy, duct tape is challenging to work with, but LOTS of FUN!!! Here we are in the process of coming up with some items we think people might want to purchase to support our Water Project. 



Brainstorming Fundraiser Ideas




Brainstorming possible duct tape product ideas to help raise money for our friends who need clean water.



Designing A Water Filter


This is a picture of a water filter a team of four students in first through fourth grade created. They spent three weeks designing, planning, and then building a filter that would purify water using only three materials. As you can see the water is quite muddy that is in the cup. This was a first attempt. :) Each week they would go over the design they had initially created and make adjustments. This filter consisted of rocks, sand, and a coffee filter.
