The Shell Bright Ideas Challenge (Years 7-9)
It’s 2050! You’re living in a busy, highly populated city. What will it look like and how will it be powered to become a vibrant, healthy and clean place for people to live?
As populations grow and thrive, demand for energy grows as well. Energy to refrigerate food and medicines, to build roads and hospitals, to make plastics, fuels and fertilisers, to transport goods across the world and to the corner shop, and to enable access to better education and job opportunities. But this increasing demand for energy is contributing to rising pressure on our climate. Enabling a decent way of life for people across the world, whilst addressing environmental stresses (including climate change) has never been more important.
The big challenge, simply put, is how can the world produce and consume much more energy while emitting much less CO2? Challenges like this will be tackled by the creativity and innovative ideas of people like you. That’s why we’re asking you to apply your imagination and problem solving skills to help shape the cities of the future.
