CarbonEdge - Transportation
Students design a calculator using Excel or HTML to estimate the carbon footprint of their transportation habits. They gather emission data, simulate usage scenarios, and analyze how habits impact environmental impact.
- Middle School
In this impactful sustainability project, students step into the role of environmental data analysts by designing a carbon footprint calculator focused on transportation. Using Excel or web-based tools like HTML, they build a functional tool that estimates the carbon emissions generated by cars, buses, trains, trucks, airplane, and more. To do this, students research required information and integrate this data into a structured, user-friendly calculator. This project enhances understanding of energy consumption, environmental impact, and data modelling while inspiring students to reflect on their carbon footprint. The final product is a working digital tool and a practical solution for raising awareness and promoting eco-conscious transportation.
