Students create a safe environment for bees
Emily, Melanie and Valentina used their BBC micro:bit to protect bees
The girls created a huge model to illustrate how their idea, a safe environment for bees, would work. The device measures temperature and humidity and counts the number of bees visiting. The judges thought it was a well-thought-through idea with an impressive model.
