Climate change profoundly affects modern daily life, influencing everything from weather patterns to food security, health, and infrastructure. As the world faces these challenges, promoting sustainability from an early age becomes crucial. Teaching young children about environmental and social responsibility helps them develop the skills and mindset necessary to adapt to new living conditions.

In this coding activity (under the alliance "WE C.O.D.E. (Create Opportunities & Develop Education) that runs since 2020), students are challenged to design their own 'Ecoland' map, adding 2-4 elements they consider essential for a sustainable future. Afterward, they can follow one of two paths:

a)   identify the objects they have added by locating their coordinates on a map,

or

b) program robots to navigate to these objects. In both cases, the students' narratives can be recorded, enriching the project’s content and fostering their understanding of sustainability and problem-solving skills. Each team can creatively present their results.

Through this interactive and fun activity, students connect the concept of sustainability to everyday decisions, guiding them to recognize how their actions can positively impact the environment while equipping them to face future challenges.
