Let’s problem solve together. Newly hatched sea turtles use moonlight to find their way to the sea, but tall, bright lights confuse them. Using Microsoft Makecode, a user-friendly programming platform that allows beginners to create and experiment with code, and LED lights, you will build a prototype of a beach pathway. This system will ensure safe navigation for people without disrupting the natural behavior of sea turtles. 

This event coincides with our annual Summer Reading Adventure program. This year's theme, "Read, Renew, Repeat," features the idea of conservation which focuses on protecting species from extinction, maintaining and restoring habitats, enhancing ecosystem services, and protecting biological diversity.
