Abstract

The Sustainable City Project aims to engage students in design and programming to construct dwellings that integrate creative and sustainable solutions. Utilising platforms like Tinkercad and Makecode to code the micro:bit, students work in teams to tackle urban challenges, proposing innovative solutions. This project promotes sustainability across various domains including energy efficiency, natural resource management, sustainable mobility and enhancing quality of life. Emphasising social inclusion and urban resilience, it seeks to build a more just and equitable future city. This research article explores the competencies developed, the methodology employed and the educational significance of the Sustainable City Project, highlighting its multidisciplinary approach at the intersection of technology, sustainability and creativity.
