What educators are saying

Straight up one of the best resources that I have purchased on TPT! This was a really nice capstone project that I was able to adapt to work with my IB MYP-5 students. Thank you so much for creating this very deep, well thought out resource!

Rated 5 out of 5

This was an excellent final project for my College in the High School: Intro to Environmental Studies class. Students were engaged to create a viable city with the project's guideline and incorporating what we had studied in class for sustainable practices.
