Designing for the future 🌍🏗️
Grade 6 students put science, math, and humanities into action during their Earth’s Forces Showcase. From studying plate tectonics and Earth’s layers to applying surface area constraints, students designed single-family homes using limited materials—all while researching the culture of an assigned city.

The result? Thoughtful structures that honor cultural context and reduce earthquake risk for the future.

Inquiry in action. Impact by design.
