Organic Waste Introduction Station. This stand-alone, 550-square-foot indoor station will host the introduction and behavior role modeling of organics composting. Located inside the building adjacent to the proposed Living Composting Lab in Task 3.2, will be two clear display shelves showcasing the various stages of organic waste decomposition, from day one to over 30 days out. The exhibit area will feature five (5) interactive digital compost stations to learn about organics waste and composting. Two of the five digital compost stations will be mobile such that DISCOVERY will have the ability to take them to OCWR seasonal events or other facilities. DISCOVERY will work with OCWR in accordance with the proposed budget (reference Attachment A-3, Budgets and Payment Schedules), design, and timeline (reference Attachment A- 2, Timelines). Planning, design and construction shall begin simultaneously with the outdoor Live Compost Lab (reference Task 4.2) or as mutually determined by OCWR and DISCOVERY. Visitors will experiment on their own through the Digital Compost Stations to see if they can reproduce targeted soil types. By modeling and experimenting with different organic wastes deposited in the digital compost bins, students will go through the Next Generation Science Standards process in their attempt to determine the most appropriate content needed to complete the newest EcoChallenge. As part of this Task, DISCOVERY shall develop a name (i.e. World of Organic Waste or WOW units) and the non-industry terminology/jargon for teaching about organic waste at the stations. Design and construction will include: • Five (5) digital compost stations – each 3’x3’ with touch screen monitor. Two (2) units adapted as mobile units to support Task 4.1 events. • Marquee area with lighting (five electrical outlets)
