MISD Mission Blue: Oceans!
What could you invent to help protect our oceans and water resources?
We all know how essential our water resources are and so we asked for your ideas to help to protect them and to keep them healthy, to help the people whose livelihoods come from working in them, and celebrate all the wonderful creatures which live underwater.
Your ideas were practical and serious, or wonderfully bonkers! You thought big and you thought small and came up with a wide range of ideas. A handful were selected to be brought to life by our team of magnificent makers, creators, CGI artists and animators.
Well done for taking a deep dive with your imagination!
