Abstract

This project explores the development of an innovative school prototype through a 3D model integrating sustainability, Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and the arts (Roche & Hurley, 2023). The goal is to create a sustainable educational environment that promotes learning and equality. Implemented in 3 months, students designed and built systems such as automatic doors, smart lighting, and automated irrigation (Zhou et al., 2020). The methodology was based on experiential learning and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) (Shute & Becker, 2010). Students conducted field research, participated in school councils, and evaluated their constructions (Leong et al., 2019). The project highlights the importance of AI and the arts in the STEAM approach (Relmasira et al., 2023). It also emphasizes the role of sustainability and technology in creating future-ready educational spaces.
