]
Didim Balat Primary School students designed the water turtle named Tospik to provide sustainable solutions for the protection of sea creatures and sea cleaning. Thanks to the camera placed on the head of the turtle, it was thought to manage the sea with the visible and remote connection board. Also thanks to the magnet stretch arms of the turtle, the garbage around can be collected into the special section located on it. Garbages sent back to the recycling in the turquoise, also produce energy for the work of Tospik. Tospik cleans the seas without damaging the lives thanks to its ability to distinguish sea creatures from trash.
Seas not ghost, get as we dream
Bodrum Up Mazi Primary School students were prepared with the motto "Seas ghost not, as we dream" to attract attention to the damage caused by wastes to sea creatures. Students who collect the trash in two groups including "The resulting Garbages" and "Seasel Activities Soner Formed Garbages" and presented examples for each title, classed wastes and expressed their dissolving time in nature. In the project where sea litteres are shared with sea creatures and harm to humans, students have explained them as a benchmark by painting a dirty sea with clean sea in their own materials. Students who designed "Hayalet Marine", which are dirty with garbage collected from the beach by carrying out a coastal cleaning activity, so when they picture a clean sea and creatures in a picture, in the other they expressed how the trash affected the ecosystem by painting a sea that changed the color.
