Two Arizona students created a robot to remove microplastics from waterways. Their invention, MP Guard, uses common items like LEGO and pool noodles. This notebook-sized robot skims the water's surface and collects tiny plastic particles. The students hope their technology can eventually be tested in ocean environments. Their project demonstrates how young inventors can address significant environmental challenges.
