This octopus shaped invention swims the ocean identifying and collecting harmful waste then converts it into energy to power itself and many other things. We love Benjamin's drawing and it really brings his idea to life!

Invention Story

The Idea!

ASP Déchets 0.1 is an underwater machine that transforms waste into energy. It is 6.5 metres wide and 4.5 metres high, and all seven of its legs have sensors. ASP 0.1 can see waste from 1 km away, and the energy produced from the waste is used to operate its tentacles.

Benjamin has been using his Inventor's Log at home to tell us more about his idea and some great facts that he has learnt about the ocean through the challenge. We love this drawing Benjamin has made of how he likes to enjoy the ocean!
