Students created a different method of remotely cleaning a chicken coop to help keep both the students cleaner AND the chicken coop cleaner to help combat messes and bumblefoot.

Strong real-world impact helps keep coops cleaner and may reduce bumblefoot risk.
Great engineering process: tested 3 prototypes and improved performance to a successful final design (22 pieces collected).
Excellent innovation. very useful for small-scale framers and backyard poultry family farmers.
You saw a problem, researched it, and built something real to help solve it. You tested, failed, learned, and kept improving until your design worked. That is exactly how scientists and engineers make the world better. Your chickens are lucky to have you.
