Objectives:
The project aims to make students understand how the entire water sector of the Province of Cremona is managed, from the extraction from the aquifer to the return of purified water to the environment. In particular: it collects water from deep wells (from 50 to 150 meters); collects it in water purification plants, where through a filtering and treatment process it becomes drinkable; the water is then distributed through the aqueduct, up to the meters of citizens' homes.

Activities:
-visit to the water treatment plant
-plan study
-virtual construction with Minecraft

Approach:
STREAM project using Game Based Learning methodology
