Natura(L) Mask

With the increase of the pandemic all over the world, as a result, protective equipment usage has increased considerably. The masks usage has reached a threatening level for the environment.

The Natural Mask project is prepared for eTwinning and Tubitak, which is also a STEM project.

The students have witnessed every stage of the process and the project was implemented.
