What you’ll build
Fly through a district and mark every light and machine on your map, using simple pretend power rules. Add up the daily units, find the worst power waster, upgrade it with sensors or switches while keeping things well lit, then pitch your savings to the mayor.
Finish line: Every light and machine is counted, the worst waster is fixed and your savings pitch is ready for the mayor.
Bonus challenge: Estimate the whole City's saving if every district made the same change. Show how you scaled it up.
You’ll need
- Daylight sensors
- Levers
- A calculator
You choose
- District I'll hunt in
- My savings target: ___ %
- My weapons: sensors, switches or fewer lights?
Stuck?
- Total looks too low? Wasters hide indoors too, so check inside every building.
- Lamps on in daytime? Tap the daylight sensor to switch it to night mode.
- Working out shares? Each type's units ÷ the total × 100 gives its percentage.
