Description:
The 8th grade students at Monte Vista Middle School wanted to enhance the campus and show a little pride in their school community. Originally the students wanted to plant flowers and shrubs around the campus but discovered that the planting areas did not have a way of delivering water to the plants and flowers. The students discovered that they had to solve the second problem before completing the first one. The students decided that they wanted to design and install a sprinkler system so that future plants had a chance to survive.
