WasteLAB, a Greater Greenville Sanitation (GGS) education program, uses summative assessments to measure a student’s knowledge of waste minimization and resource conservation. Results in testing saw as much as a 16% improvement in the programs first-full year of operation.
Launched in fall of 2016, WasteLAB is a 49 foot, 10.5 ton semi-trailer converted to a mobile teaching center for solid waste education.
WasteLAB teaches students about real-world solid waste management problems and offers solutions through a combination of STEAM certified digital and tactile games, an Artificial Intelligence interface, pre- and post-testing, and an on-site educator.
“The test results are the most important metric for GGS“ said GGS Vice Chairman Ken Ledford. “It is our hope that what students are learning from this program will translate into greater environmental awareness and stewardship. If it helps to reduce solid waste sent to landfills and increases recycling rates, that’s a win-win!”
WasteLAB is the flagship exhibit of GGS’s Sustainable Schools Program and is one of several standards-based educational products available at no charge for Greenville County schools.
