Evolve my city with simple machines

People developed local societies and built the first cities in prehistoric times. There are cities with a history dating back thousands of years that have been plundered, destroyed, and rebuilt. Different historical versions of our country’s cities coexist in different places, and the ancient component is seamlessly incorporated with the present one.

Objective: Themes

Your group must work on a project that includes at least three mechanisms that employ simple machines and an electric motor coupled to the battery case mentioned in the equipment materials. Students’ ideas should give answers beyond the logic of “smart cities” because this category does not entail the use of automation. Goal 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for green and sustainable cities established by UNESCO. More specifically, for the construction of a sustainable city, social, economic, and environmental repercussions, citizen living circumstances, and their symbiotic relationship with the area’s flora and fauna are considered. Finally, this design should not be overlooked so that future generations can continue this work.
Buildings, utility networks (electricity, water, telecommunications, and drainage), security, public transport, network bike lanes and pedestrian routes, wellness, and recreation places are all concerns that you can research and depict. Schools, libraries, and local museums provide quality education (UNESCO aim 4). Your methods should be applications that tackle an existing problem in one or more of the UNESCO goals for sustainable development (3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, and 13), preferably in urban areas. Goal 17 for all of us (states and citizens) to work together is crucial to attain, is understood by the youngsters, and can be shown in the solution they will suggest.
