Smart Cities Concept
Kids are learning how technology plays a role in building and connecting cities, and smart cities in particular. While it’s a relatively new concept, classrooms around the world are implementing this into their learning for kids.
In one experiment, “educators proposed a novel hands-on workshop where children learn about the smart city concept, are challenged with a collective urban planning exercise and develop a digital citizen participation method. This paper describes the workshop conducted and reports on lessons learned from its evaluation; the workshop involved 299 children from the ages of 12 to 14. It showed success in improving the children’s understanding of the smart city concept.” Though this concept may seem outlandish right now, children are preparing to learn this as they progress in their education. They are the future, after all! (MDPI).
