Design Cycle 2 - Community and Service, Environments, Human Ingenuity


I have recently made a design cycle in Science. The challenge was to create a 3D model on SketchUp consisting of a sustainable island. This design cycle falls into the Community and Service, Environments and Human Ingenuity category.
It falls into Community and Service because the project provided service to the community. If the model was made in real life, it provides service to the students and staff living in the boarding school. But even if it wasn't created in real life, (since my design cycle only had the boarding school and the renewable energy structures) my project informs the society on different, and eco-friendly, methods to gather energy.
This design cycle falls into the Environments category because I had to be cautious of the impacts the structures on my model would have on the environment. An example of this is the mindful decisions about the pacific energy gathering methods I will use, and I choose the methods by the impacts it would have on the environment. I choose the methods that produce no pollution!
And lastly, this design cycle has fallen into the Human Ingenuity category. This is because the Science, inventions, advances, etc., has affected the structures that I have used in my model to make it more eco-friendly. But some advances has had a worst impact on the environment than the inventions it was influenced by.
Thanks for reading on my blog!
