STIIX Architecture Project

• Grades: 3-8
• Number of Students: 15-45
• Hours of Content: 3-4
• Additional resources: Lesson Plan

Highlights:

Explore Concepts & Careers around Architecture before building / testing one of your own!

Objective: 
Students will take on the role of real estate developers in STIIX-Ville as they design and construct their Dream House using a selection of unique materials— each with its own price point. 

Working within a set budget and guided by an attached pricing sheet, students must balance creativity, structural design, and cost-efficiency to get the most “bang for their buck.” Through this hands-on project, students explore spatial planning, economic trade-offs, and architectural design while presenting their model homes to potential ‘buyers.’

Although this specific project is not on there, check out our optional Augmented Reality app, STIIXVille. In it, students can bring concepts & careers to life for 6 other of our other STIIX projects.
