Forever Everglades

We are a handful of iPrep Academy North’s finest students, but also Florida residents. We are writing this blog to give everyone interested some insight on our project. To start off, I'll introduce our team: Romy, Leo, Johnaniel, Lucas, Ruben, James, Amelia, and Nahuel.

This project means more than any of us can put into words because it hits so close to home. We hope to restore our home, the Everglades. Now we know we don't have all the answers, so we plan to use our resources and study the Everglades to truly understand what makes up our home while also gaining a better understanding of how to utilize our fascinating technology.

We plan to measure the progress that our beloved home is making without the use of manpower but rather machines that we will be making.
