Be an Architect!

Architecture naturally lends itself to engineering and math, but did you know it can also include art, history, and science? This week, learn what it takes to be an architect and leave a lasting impression on the landscape of a town or city! From building a bridge to creating a skyscraper and everything in between, students will get a hands-on look at how each are different and how they are similar. Students will explore historic buildings through Minecraft, learn about the varieties of bridge structures and compete to build the strongest bridge with LEGOs. They will identify residential styles in Wisconsin, who created them, and design their own stained glass. To end the week they will build their own treehouse with a variety of materials! To top it off, we will have a visit with a local architect.
