Third graders have been busy planning, designing, and building their own communities. They first decided if they wanted to design a rural, suburban, or urban community and then made plans for their community. They decided what laws would protect their citizens, what services their government would provide, what utilities were available, accessibility features, and much more. Then, they learned a variety of cardboard engineering techniques and used at least two of these in the construction of their community. This week, they presented their communities to their classmates. These projects will be on display at the STEAM Expo on February 26. Come by and take a look!
