Welcome to the Aquatic Life Saving Building (ALS-b). This design was inspired UN SDG Goal #14 – Life Below Water.

This building is half under water and is supposed to be built near the large city of Athens. The purpose of the design is to use ultra- violet laser technology to detect and alert authorities about illegal fishing boats and nets in the Mediterranean Sea.

In addition, it can be as a lab for scientists to study endangered fish (like the European Sea Sturgeon), which they can also use the UV laser readings for (fish cannot see UV light).

This building’s power supply is provided by geo-thermal energy (you can see the power plant on the shore of the design), which works with Goal 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy and Goal 11 – Sustainable Development.

This building is also used as a homeless shelter – this goes with Goal 1 – No Poverty, because it will be placed near large cities where there are more people than there is housing. There is a bridge that connects this building to the shore, so that the people can go to work or the store.

I see this building in a future city because population will grow and more homes will be needed, and more people may lead to more overfishing. This building can help to stop overfishing in a sustainable way. That is why my project connects to future cities and the UN Sustainable development goals.

I created a dehumidifier with solar panels, a sink, and a tap, which applies to the UN SDG for clean water and sanitation (#6).

My dehumidifier takes the water from the air and filters the water so that it’s clean. The clean water can then go in the tap and the person who is waiting can fill their water bottle with clean water.

If the water spills from the water bottle, it ends up in the sink. There is a pipe that takes the water from the sink and filters it again so that it can be used a second time and not be wasted. The energy from the solar panel is used to draw in the water from the sink back into the filtering system.

One important design from my invention is the solar panels. They are important because it’s the energy from the solar panels that provides the energy needed to allow the tubes to draw in the water that hasn’t been used.

My design is a treadmill that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy using piezoelectricity. That way, electricity is being made while getting physical activity.

My design addresses both SDG #3 (Good Health and Well Being) and #7 (Affordable and clean energy). While getting more physical activity, you reduce the risk of getting heart disease as well as produce cheaper electricity for the household.

One important part of my design is the computer that keeps a tally of how much time has been spent daily on the treadmill for each person.
