Check Out These California Project Ideas
Every project is designed to inspire students with local and relatable connections to renewable energy, sustainability, and school-focused climate and sustainability challenges.
Solar Energy in Southern California
Students build and code a working solar panel to measure real energy output, then test their designs outdoors to identify the sunniest school spots.
Connected to the UN SDGs
All lessons align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and include scaffolded low-code and no-code pathways, making climate-focused coding accessible for every learner.
Smart Drought-Resilient Gardens
Using soil moisture sensors, students monitor irrigation in school gardens and green spaces, learning how to conserve water and support sustainable landscaping.
Waste Diversion for Zero-Waste
Build a prototype of a smart composting bin to helping reduce landfill waste and support LAUSD's zero-waste initiatives.
Explore Outdoor Environments
Take micro:bit into the field with THE CHARGE battery pack to gather data from the classroom to the school yard, in nature and beyond.
Turn Gamers Into Makers
Play a recycling-themed game using MakeCode Arcade to explore game design, customize gameplay, and learn sustainability concepts.
