What will this machine do?

O meu projeto é uma trotinete a motor que aspira e lava o chão.
As rodas têm um aspirador para o lixo não se agarrar e debaixo da trotinete há um deposito de agua que sai automaticamente.

Why was it invented?

O meu projeto nasceu do problema da limpeza da casa, que pode tornar-se uma atividade divertida com a "trotinete limpadora".

This Dream Machine idea has been elaborated as part of the MyMachine DreamsDrop Campaign 2020

We selected this Dream Machine idea to be part of the MyMachine DreamsDrop 2020 Campaign. In total 15 ideas were selected from participating primary schools in Mexico, Ecuador, South Africa, Mozambique and India. 

100 Industrial Product Design Students from the Industrial Design Center at HOWEST University of Applied Sciences (Belgium) have been working on these 15 ideas to translate them into product concepts. They were guided by university professors Erwin Deibel, Heino Labbeeuw, Katrijn Sabbe, Leen Deprez, Lieven David and Nils Ferlin.

The students only had 2 days. The results -considering such a short term- are astonishing.

Here is how it was done for the Trotinete de Limpadora from the Escola Portuguesa de Mozambique:
