In this Design Challenge: Birds vs Mammals vs Insects vs Bacteria we will be creating a tool that will help us better care for all the forms of life that we encounter on an urban farm. Looking at the template the challenge is to create healthy and sustainable ways to provide a safe ecosystem, housing, and care strategy for each form of life. You will be able to ask an intern or mentor, but the internet is also an option!
