About the Project

This collaborative project brings together students from Technology, Media, and Science to address the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and community development.
Technology students will explore the use of drones for land surveys and environmental monitoring, applying CAD software to design homes constructed with 3D printing technology to promote affordable and environmentally conscious housing solutions. Science students will engage in two phases of research: first, studying the environmental impact of traditional construction, and then exploring solutions for environmentally friendly community development. They will also study the Santa Rosa Plateau, focusing on local habitats and gaining firsthand knowledge of environmental preservation. Afterwards, they will design and construct a model of sustainable housing communities in a Makerspace. Media students will utilize industry-standard video production equipment to document the entire process, conducting interviews with peers and local experts in city planning and environmental preservation. Their work will culminate in a documentary that captures the interdisciplinary efforts of all involved. The project will conclude with a presentation to district leaders and the community, showcasing the students’ work and fostering a culture of collaboration, empathy, service, and collective action toward meaningful environmental and social change.
