Overview

Journey to City X: An Engineering Adventure explores the future through problem solving, design, and engineering in a science-fact world that most parents and kids don't yet know exists. This book invites kids to take charge of the world they wish to create by designing inventions and solutions to challenges faced in an imaginary City X, the first human settlement on another planet.

This adventure takes readers on an epic journey: humans are leaving Earth, arriving at a new planet, and creating the first settlement there, City X. It's a journey of historic proportions, to a fledgling city on a distant planet, where the laws of physics and society are utterly different, and the imagination can run free.

In settling another planet, humans discover a host of challenges, much like those faced on Earth: Challenges related to issues of energy, environment, transportation, education, security, food, safety, and health. Empowered by design thinking and 3-D technology, their problems are to be solved by a vast team of young designers on Earth (your children ).

With this book, you and yours will be able to develop the tools to explore, understand, imagine, create, and share your own irresistible futures through accessible real-world activities and awesome ideations.

"What if you could solve the biggest challenges in any city and design a future that works for everyone?"
