20 Time Post #5

Hey! So I'm excited because we finally have some solid ideas about this project!

This week we really nailed down what we were gonna be doing and how we plan on accomplishing this stuff. We also made flyers this week and handed them out during our presentation and plan to hang them around the school very soon. Right now we are working on designing our bins that we are gonna place around the school and possibly in some local restaurants. And after that, we are going to visit Schwenksville Elementary and hand out paper bags to each homeroom and make it a competition for who can gather the most bottle caps. We also had our presentations yesterday and I think they went really well! We talked to a couple of different people and they gave some really good feedback like fore example we could have the elementary school kids paint the bottlecaps for us as like an activity or game. I think that the setup worked really well for us, the only thing I didn't like was how rushed it was because I would have liked to have given more background on the idea and project itself. So for our entire project Mr. Heidt made a timeline:
