BitCity: Your health, our priority! Our project, BitCity, is based on the idea of its citizens’ well-being. It combines technology and medicine in order to guarantee a better quality of life to the inhabitants of this city.

Besides technology the completion of this project has required knowledge from fields of biology, physics, mathematics and engineering.

All these components make this project the ideal STEAM project. In BitCity technology enables functionality into every component of our project. This is made possible by using several technological components including Arduino Uno circuits and BBC Micro:Bit. These circuits are enabled to get information from the surrounding environment using sensors.

The Welcoming Sign From the entrance to the city, the welcome sign of the city appears. The purpose of the table is to present temperatures in a structured and convenient way to assess whether they are too high, too low or in a normal range to perform outdoor physical activities. Consequences: Exposure to low temperatures can cause hypothermia. Exposure to high temperatures can cause heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke and hyperthermia. Exposure at a temperature of a normal range may be considered more suitable. Temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius are suitable for outdoor physical activities.

The Housings Our vision for the cities of the future include homes that will no longer need physical devices that are touched by many individuals, thus becoming a source for the transmission of infections and infectious diseases. Since the house will function through sensors, there will no longer be a need to have the physical part, such as door handles, which are a source of infections. Apart from this the use of sensors makes access around the house simpler and friendlier for people with disabilities, e.g. individuals who are paralyzed, blind, etc.

The Hospital One of the most important systems in our entire body is the muscular system. Our muscles allow us to bend, chew, balance and keep warm by shivering. Electromyography (EMG) is a technique that allows us to record the activity of our muscles by looking at their electrical pulses. Doctors use it to diagnose certain medical conditions. The idea for our hospital is similar. By using a Micro:Bit we can create an EMG and this will be the first medical aid that patients receive as soon as they enter the hospital. The Psychologist’s Clinic For the psychologist’s clinic, we have built a chatbot that uses artificial intelligence to receive patients’ concerns, process them and return an answer based on their problems. The chatbot was created through the Python Programming Language and the Llama 2 LLM .

The Greenhouse As studies imply, one of the most important factors that contribute to health is the eating habits. Except for the kind of food we consume , it is important to take into consideration even the origin of the food and how it was produced. For all these reasons BitCity includes its own greenhouse. The greenhouse fosters the perfect enviroment for plant cultivation. It keeps the plant under the electromagnetic radiation with the satisfactory wavelength for the process of photosynthesis. The plants will be watered by Arduino controlled systems based on the scale of transpiration. The higher the temperature, the higher the quantity of water which transpires from the leaves. To balance this loss our system will water the plants more frequently at higher temperatures. For gathering the produce we will use an robotic arm controlled by hydraulic presses.

The Wind Turbine A wind turbine can harness the kinetic energy of wind to use it for various purposes. In BitCity this goal includes the production of electricity for the residences. The wind turbine is connected with a generator which is capable of producing electricity through the principle of induction. This field forces the electrons in the conductor to follow a directed flow producing an electric current. In addition to its sustainability as an energy source, an essential advantage of the turbine is the absence of environmental pollution during the energy production process.

The Airport The airport in our city has a radar installed and is ready for any aircraft. The Pool For entertainment purposes our city will include a pool which includes equipment for people with blindness and sound signals which will orientate them. The Park Green spaces are essential to any city. Our park serves as the primary source of oxygen for the environment and is protected from deforestation by electrical systems. In this project all students participated by giving their own ideas regarding sustainable development, wellbeing and environment protection.

Our work continues towards making these ideas possible in our community through the following campaigns: Social Media Campaign “We love our planet !” Organising a local STEAM FESTIVAL, inviting talented students will share ideas with each-other , STEAM teachers, local authority. “Promoting wellness, preserving nature – Sustainable living for a healthier future!”
