The sustainable city project encourages students to imagine, design, and present a model of an urban community that balances environmental protection, social well-being, and economic growth. Its purpose is to help students understand the challenges cities face today and to apply creative, scientific, and technical solutions that make urban life healthier, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.
SUBJECTS:
Biology -Understanding ecosystems, green spaces, biodiversity, and the impact of pollution on human and environmental health.
Chemistry: Managing water and air quality, recycling processes, and sustainable energy production (e.g., batteries, biofuels, solar cells).
Physics: Designing energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy systems (solar panels, wind turbines), and sustainable transportation through mechanics and thermodynamics.
Time frame: September - December 2025
Final product:
Students will bring their sustainable city ideas to life by creating a 3D model (using cardboard, clay, recycled materials, etc.)

"Street smart light" is to illuminate the path from abstract theory to tangible creation. It's rooted in the belief that true understanding doesn't come from memorization, but from hands-on application.
SUBJECTS:
Physics: The project transforms invisible concepts like voltage and resistance into a real-world object that intelligently responds to its environment. It teaches that "smart" technology isn't magic; it's the clever application of fundamental principles. By building a circuit that can "see" the dark and act on it, students learn to view technology not as passive consumers, but as active creators capable of building solutions for the world around them.
Time frame: September - December 2025.
Final product:
the final product is a functional automatic streetlight prototype built by the students on a breadboard

Students will build a mini-METEO station that measures different physical quantities (temperature, pressure, wind speed, amount of precipitation) and will learn to determine the values of these quantities using simple instruments and practical methods.
SUBJECTS:
Physics: applying knowledge about physical quantities: temperature, length, time, mass, pressure, volume.
Developing measurement and calculation skills through the use of simple devices and instruments.
Time frame: September - December 2025.
Final product:
Creating a functional model of a weather station using: Cardboard, bottles, graduated glasses, rulers, thermometers, stopwatch, small fans, adhesive tape, string, markers.
