Learn about what it takes to be sustainable, while competing in a game show.
In a world of fake news, climate change and corporate greed, what will it take to shift our thinking to a more sustainable future?
Inspired by emerging technology from around the world, students will deep dive into circular economies, biomimicry, urban farming, bio-hacking and more as they learn how to spot greenwashing and other eco-fads. Students will interrogate the idea of sustainability, what it takes to be truly sustainable and compete for prizes as they rapidly develop solutions to sustainable challenges in a game show format.
Key Themes: design & engineering, sustainability, urban planning, collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, ethical considerations, interdisciplinary skills and problem solving.
