Sustainble Cities With STEM eTwinning Project
We are aware that the world is burdened with more environmental, economic and social problems than it can bear. The crisis is happening much faster than we feared. However, our hands are not tied in the face of this emergency, moreover, we even have a concrete roadmap; we have a universal ‘assignment’ that we aim to complete by 2030. In the light of these assignments; Our students will design the sustainable cities of the future with STEM solutions.
Aims
1- Students will learn about Sustainable Development Goals.
2- Students will conduct research on sustainable cities. He will talk with experts in his field.
3- Students will design sections of sustainable cities in groups. They will apply STEM steps in their designs.
4- Students will discover sustainable living. They will transfer this lifestyle to their own life.
Project Plan
January:
Self-promotion of partner schools.
Online meetings of teachers about project plans
Completion of pre-project surveys
Design and selection of project logos
February-March:
Creation of mixed country teams.
Students will recognize the Sustainable Development goalsThey will determine the characteristics of sustainable cities.
April - May:
1. Classes can take 1 guest related to the topic ‘Sustainable Cities’ first in City design. (Such as environmental engineer, civil engineer, urban planning specialist, Environmental Specialist)
2. Each class will design its cities according to the rules we have determined jointly.
* Students in the class will be divided into groups.
* Each group will receive a building. (Home, School, Park, Hospital, Market, ....)
* Groups will first draw about the characteristics of their buildings.
June:
End of project surveys
