The \u2018Sole Searchers\u2019 would receive donations of old shoes and disassemble them to get the materials, particularly the rubber soles which can be used to create flooring such as running tracks and playground soft surfaces. The other material, such a fabric, would then be used for blankets etc.<\/p>\n<p>Our runner up teams each got a 10,000 baht coupon for Beyond Code Academy, 3,000 baht, a certificate and a trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Ali\u2019s team created a presentation on food waste management and called it \u2018FoodFix\u2019.
