6- How will you use tools like the laser cutter and 3D printer with sustainable materials to make your project eco-friendly? What materials will you use, and why are they sustainable choices?
6- How will you use tools like the laser cutter and 3D printer with sustainable materials to make your project eco-friendly? What materials will you use, and why are they sustainable choices?
Describe how your project will leverage maker tools like laser cutters or 3D printers to reduce waste, and increase maintainability. Also, explain your choice of materials such as fabric, plastic filament, or recycled plastic sheets to support green innovation. Select materials with low environmental impact, and explain their relevance to your project.
Waste Reduction
The prototype will be manufactured using plywood and laser cutting. The product could be made from recyclable materials.
 The buttons could be 3D printed using recyclable plastics.
Maintainability
The product could be easily assembled and disassembled for maintenance activities.
Cost Control
The product is affordable since recyclable materials are used.
In case the product was damaged, the remaining parts could be reused again.Â

9- How will you incorporate Arduino programming, sensors, and actuators to enhance the sustainability features of your project?Â
Describe how you’ll use Arduino programming, along with sensors and actuators, to create functions that improve your project’s efficiency, reduce resource use, or monitor environmental impact.
ProgrammingÂ
will be optimized to build the model and integrate the logic in order to identify discrepancies in the warehouses in terms of temperature and humidity.Â
SensorsÂ
will be used to get the input from the atmosphere and the surrounding.Â
To maintain sustainability, the following features will be added using Arduino programing:
Have multiple power sources to the prototype including batteries and direct connection to electricity.
Schedule the sensors' activities to maintain readings are taken each interval of time to maintain longer life times for the sensors and the devices.
