Part 2
Mrs. Coker’s middle school STEM class created sustainable footwear. Their goals were to create shoes that were durable for short-term wear, allowed movement, were comfortable, easy to put on and take off, attractive and well-designed, and made mostly from recyclable materials. They also created commercials that featured their brand logo and slogan to attract eco-conscious consumers.
