High-Level Project Summary
Plastic pollution is a major problem for the society, environment, and basically, everything on the Earth. It affects negatively on human health, It Upsets the Food Chain, causes groundwater pollution, etc. Our project is about a machine called MAMBA which can solve all the problems mentioned above. Plastic is placed into the machine, the plastic is weighed and stored, and the machine gives out cash according to the weight of the plastic inserted. So we can 1) help the environment and 2) get paid for it.

Detailed Project Description
As we mentioned above, our goal is to convince people to throw their garbage in the trash and get money from it, because everything should be beneficial for each party.
The point of our project is to get garbage and give money, and now I want to explain how it works, our garbage can has a sensor that will determine what we put in it, and a function that weighs a kilogram and pays money based on it. .Now let's talk about what will happen if we don't implement it, then there will be big problems in the future. Firstly, as we know, the average decomposition time of plastic products created using different technologies ranges from 400 to 700 years, as well as plastic bags that are used by people on a daily basis, decompose in nature from 100 to 200 years, and this is very long and harms humanity, since when plastic decomposes it turns into micro particles and after that, it flows into our body through breathing and nutrition
we are creating this garbage can with a 3D constructor and blender, so it may be obvious that it is hardware, but we are doing our best to achieve this.

Hackathon Journey
These two days of Hackathon were so interesting
Our team gained new experience, felt new emotions and learned new things.
We have learned how to use some programming languages such as Blender and 3D builder. Noone in ASD knew how to use these programmes,so we learned them by ourselves. It was little bit difficult,but we were able to learn it.
At Hackathon everybody became friends with each other. Some of us stayed here to sleep,we became closer with each other, some of us have worked all night. One of our teammates stayed up all night,for creating a model and he succeeded
Every day we see that our planet is going to die ,and so we decided to try to solve this problem with plastic recycling.
So ,we would like to express our gratitude to ASD for giving us this opportunity and for the recourses which helped us to develop our idea , thanks for mentors and volunteers ,who were with us all time
