I noticed that a lot of forests have been burned and it has affected our environment and where we live. I wonder if my idea of a tree that sprays fire inhibitor when the built in sensors sense fire, would stop the fire from spreading and protect National parks, forests, people and houses?
Your question and design has potential to help many people and the environment. Keep up the curiosity and engineering change!
Dear Student, this is a very creative and well-executed project! Impressive! Keep up the good work!
You did such a wonderful job and you worked so hard. This is a wonderful idea and project
Your project is creative, thoughtful, and shows a strong understanding of how forests and plants are affected by wildfires. You noticed a real problem, researched it carefully, talked to experts, and built models that improved each time. Your idea of a “fire‑protecting tree” with sprinklers is impressive, and your second design shows how much you learned about ladder fuels, plant moisture, and fire behavior.
Wonderful work! keep exploring and inventing!
