In this three-week homeschool program, young scientists will explore real-world climate solutions while designing and building their very own sustainable community model. Through hands-on activities and creative problem-solving, students will learn how renewable energy, clean transportation, and green building design can work together to create healthier, more sustainable places to live.
Each week builds on the last as participants add new features to their growing community, developing both scientific understanding and design skills along the way. The program concludes with a community showcase where students proudly present their creations to family and friends.
Topics Include:
Renewable energy sources (solar, wind, and water)
Clean and low-emission transportation systems
Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings
What Students Will Do:
Build an individual 3D model of a green community
Test ideas, design solutions, and make creative choices
