Do you have a wasp problem? Or want to prepare for the spring wasp outbreak? 

My name is Aiden Teviotdale and I'm a year 12 student at Southland Boys High School. My team and I have designed TrapCap.

Trap Cap is an easy and simple, soda bottle screw on cap that turns any used soda bottle into an effective and child safe wasp trap. We have designed this product with sustainability in mind, as it encourages the use of recycled bottles while helping reduce wasp populations around your school, garden, or anywhere with a wasp problem. Its small entry holes are carefully sized to keep bees safe, making it an environmentally responsible solution. This could also be a cool learning opportunity for kids to learn about wasps and have a fun time. 

If you have any questions don't be afraid to email, if you would like to buy one you can order one from our website:

Spring Screen Break: 20–27 September

This September, families are invited to take part in Spring Screen Break — a 7-day opportunity to pause, reset our relationship with technology and reconnect with the people and activities that help us flourish. Rather than focusing on what we are giving up, Spring Screen Break is about what we can gain: more connection, conversation, creativity, time outdoors, better sleep and being more present with one another. Families can join the free challenge and access practical ideas and resources to make a digital reset achievable and positive. Find out more at www.springscreenbreak.com

Let’s make a little effort to be conscious about our tech usage and we really do reap the benefits of being more present and connected in real life.
