Imagine a building that doesn’t just do one thing—it does everything! Welcome to Copenhill, a waste-to-energy plant in Copenhagen, Denmark, that’s more than just a factory. This futuristic facility turns trash into energy, powering homes and businesses in an eco-friendly way. But Copenhill isn’t just about energy—it’s also a place for fun! You can ski down its sloped roof, climb its massive wall, or hike along its trails, all while overlooking one of the greenest cities in the world.

Copenhill proves that buildings can serve more than one purpose. By combining work and play, it inspires cities to think creatively about their spaces. What if schools could do the same? Imagine transforming your school, library, post office, or other public space into a place that’s as cool as Copenhill!

Your Task:

Now it's time to transform your school and make it even more multifunctional!

1. Pick a Space
Choose an area in your community that you think could benefit from the dull to the delightful! An office? School? Library? Explain why you chose this location.

2. Think Big
What features or activities could make your space more exciting? Think about spaces that serve double purposes, like:

-A rooftop garden to relax and grow food.
-Solar panels that double as shaded hangout areas.

3. Design Your Dream Space
Create a list of at least 3 new activities, features, or designs for your space. Explain how each idea could make things more fun, functional, or sustainable.
