Hi there,
I have this science project I need to do, but I am really confused on what to make for it.
My topic is:
Inspiring Creativity for Better Living and Sustainability for the Nation
Please help me. Thanks

Introduction
To build a sustainable future, as a society, we must first imagine what it looks like. Art can be used as a means to inspire creativity in science, an essential skill in our future scientists, engineers, and citizens so that they are able to solve the challenges humanity faces. Art-science intersections are a powerful tool to evoke deep meaning in sustainability education. As science education is shifting towards more active learning, collaboration, and interdisciplinary research to reflect the manner in which science is conducted and to promote deep learning, there are opportunities to give students the freedom to think critically and solve problems, which plays a key role in their development as a scientist or engineer.
Although we see an emphasis to recruit students to STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) careers early in their education, it does not always inspire creativity or encourage students to use their skills to build a sustainable future. This is particularly true in underrepresented populations, where students see a career in science or technology as a means to live a more comfortable life—which can be very resource intensive on our planet. Through our undergraduate research program at Pasadena City College (PCC), we translate our research in sustainable materials into outreach lessons to teach underrepresented middle school and high school students about sustainability.
We use Planetary Boundaries (PB) as a framework to discuss sustainability and develop hands-on classroom experiments to allow students to experience the scientific method. These engaging activities are rooted in creative inquiry and used to drive in-depth discussion, in which we relate environmental issues to students’ lives and lead them to discover that each individual contributes to our environmental impact. Our goal is to provide a meaningful, engaging learning experience early in science education to help students understand that every individual has an effect on our Planetary Boundaries.
At PCC, we have established an undergraduate research program designed to give students research experience at the onset of their careers to better inform their decision to pursue science, foster passion for science and research, and inspire creativity and critical thinking so that students are equipped to solve the imminent challenges of our time. Our research group has focused on fabricating sustainable paints, harnessing renewable energy (i.e. algae biofuels),
