Biology students display plastic versus alternative products and explain how plastics harm sea turtles. Dandini Parcourse rehabilitation participants show a turtle-shaped documentation map about renovation technology and engineering. Education students facilitate a turtle-shaped Dandini Parcourse art project. Math students present the hexagonal geometric shape in turtle shells with hexagon and magic-square activities.
