ABSTRACT
The old conceptual dichotomy between the city and the countryside has often been a historical stumbling block for architects and urban planners. Whilst there have been many attempts to bring the city closer to the natural environment, some on grand scales, more modest experiments have often gleaned better results. Daniele Belleri is a partner at design and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati, where he is in charge of all editorial and curatorial projects. He and the practice's founder, architect and engineer Carlo Ratti – who is director of the Senseable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) – together explore our contemporary options.

ABSTRACT
This paper provides a framework for the planning and implementation stages involved in teaching a math class, in full compliance with local educational programs, Additional content based on native/indigenous numerical systems is also provided. The educational program includes a combination of theory and practice to help kids appreciate technical concepts and provides a wide-range of learning possibilities for other applications. These 'Math Crafts' activities will be implemented in five schools within the Arhuaco School System, part of an indigenous community of approximately 30, 000 people. Four hundred children in 5th grade of elementary school are our initial audience. Future projects are expected to include reaching out to urban students. Note: Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, prerecorded and remote classes will be provided. © 2021 IEEE.
