Project Description

Students designed and built small pollinator-friendly habitats in urban spaces near their school to support biodiversity.

What students did

They researched native plant species, built wooden insect hotels using recycled materials, and planted flowering species in neglected green areas. The process combined biology research with creative design and teamwork.

Reflection / Learning outcome

Students understood the importance of pollinators in ecosystems and experienced how small local interventions can contribute to environmental sustainability. Collaboration and design thinking were central to the project.
