How Might We Question: 

How might we design and build something like an architect that helps people in our school or neighborhood?

Problem: 

Imagine you're a junior architect working for a special design team called Future Builders Inc. Your mission? To help design and build something that makes life better for people in your school or neighborhood.

You’ll think like a real architect by:

• Identifying a need in your community (like a quiet reading space, a safer bus stop, or a fun outdoor area)

• Sketching your ideas like blueprints

• Choosing materials that are strong, safe, and maybe even eco-friendly

• Building a model of your design

• Explaining your choices to a panel of “city officials” (parents, teachers, and classmates!)

Your project will show how architecture isn’t just about buildings—it’s about helping people and shaping the world around us.
