One of our team’s problems was trying to get the water to not overflow and spill into the main container.

Engineering is important because it shapes the world and makes thing more stable and useful.

Our challenge was to try to filter dirty water as much as possible to clean, drinkable water.

We chose this design because we felt that with our limited supplies, it could be more efficient to make the water cleaner. The design works with cotton balls in the tubes, lots of net-like filters, and a lot of rocks.

Our design was kind of successful because it filtered the water but the water still was kind of dirty and looked like tea.

If I could change my design and improve it, I would make another filter with wood and small bits of thin cardboard and filter the filtered water to make it cleaner.
