This week we take a look at architecture through the varying perspectives of STEAM. Integrating architecture into a lesson fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, spatial awareness, an understanding of built environments, and develops valuable teamwork and communication skills. Discover activities and lessons such as designing a merry-go-round, treehouse, wind turbine, or truss bridge. Connect with ideas to promote sustainable land use or create a net zero building site. Explore land surveying, landscape architecture, how to use scale rulers, and so much more.
