On our second unit called Power, we internally and externally dived into our guiding question "What it takes to power a city". During the internal investigation we discussed heavily on the Chicago World's Fair where we analyzed the architectural and social aspect of the event. We then dove deeper into one of the main attractions of that time an place between Edison and Tesla on the "Current War". We learned the two main electrical source which is a/c & d/c. Tesla had been the one who discovered AC and Edison had discovered DC where it was then shown at the Worlds Fair to compete which one was capable of lighting up the fair efficiently. For an FE, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry to see for ourselves Jackson Park where the World's Fair took place. Most importantly we had went to MSI to dive deeper into electricity aspect by looking at the famous Tesla coil and interesting enough we had took part in a workshop where we made our own circuits. This smoothly transitioned us to our Action Project where we had partnered up to create a circuit that embodies Eco-friendly home appliances. If you are curious as to see how this plays a role in Urban Planing slide on!
