Burgas students present a digital application for marine conservation

Students from Burgas have combined their interest in technology and nature conservation by creating a digital game in which a sea robot collects plastic and paper waste from a virtual sea, BNR-Burgas reports.

The project offers an interactive online application where each cleaned “square” of the seabed earns points, and the most successful participants receive special prizes.


The Bulgarian teenagers spent nearly a year turning their concept into a finished product. The game will be presented in two high schools in Varna, and a mobile team will organize demonstrations for students from different residential districts of Bulgaria’s maritime capital to raise environmental awareness among the younger generation. Participants in the student initiative will learn not only how to keep the sea clean but also how every small action can impact the future of our planet.
