Project

Real-world projects creating positive impacts for self, others, communities, and the planet.

Annually, numerous interdisciplinary projects emerge with the mission of contributing to a better world.These projects span multiple disciplines and areas such as biosciences, urban planning, innovative media, physics, and mathematics. Within them, we are engineers, designers, architects, scientists, thinkers, and visionaries for the future. We expect these projects could inspire learners in creating impactful work, prompting them to consider their place in the broader context of the world and the progression of human civilization.

Climate

If agriculture were to completely decouple from dependence on soil and climate, how could we still produce food efficiently and sustainably?

On the way.
Climate

How can the Earth’s ecosystems automatically regulate the climate so that global temperatures no longer spiral out of control due to human activities?

Climate

If each person’s carbon emissions were limited by “carbon currency,” how could we design a global carbon economy system that is fair, just, and feasible?

On the way.
Climate

If all energy had to be provided by natural ecosystems (with no artificial power grids), how would human society’s energy system be disrupted?

Climate

If there were no landfills globally and every region had to recycle 100% of all waste, how would our production and consumption systems need to be completely restructured?

On the way.
