Activity
In this activity, students will focus on creating the environment where their transportation project will exist. By considering factors such as geography, resources, climate, and societal structure, students will develop a detailed framework that contextualizes their transportation system within a future world.
Instructions
Part 1: With your group, look through the inspirational images from the slides above. Discuss how different environments (deserts, oceans, megacities, outer space) influence the design of transportation systems.
Part 2: Use AI tools to visualize your world.
Prompts for AI:
- Describe the environment where your transportation system operates.
- Highlight key elements (e.g., floating cities, underwater ecosystems, desert landscapes).
- Specify how renewable energy or futuristic infrastructure fits into this environment.
- Adjust and refine the prompts to get results that align with your vision.
Students should generate several AI outputs and select the ones that resonate most with their vision.
Deliverables
All work should be added to the Responses tab in the form of a slide deck. It should include the following: Your AI generated worlds and project designs
