Architecture

"Architecture is the thoughtful making of spaces. It is the creating of spaces that evoke a feeling of appropriate use.” 

—Louis I. Kahn                                                            

Architecture, in library STEAM programs, can be a major home run. It incorporates all five letters of STEAM, is low prep and requires little knowledge of the subject and is highly engaging for participants. The unit and activities here are just a taste of the possibilities and are intended to be easy to replicate. 

It is entirely possible to work in Architecture without a college degree. 

For upper middle school and high school kids who want a bit more in depth on the subject, looking into Diversify Architecture is highly recommended. They provide curriculum, supplies, and experts for clubs.
