Architecture and Environmental Design
Take a look around. Chances are you are sheltered by a roof supported by
surrounding walls. Most likely, an architect decided on the shape of the
structure and the materials to be used. Architects design the buildings in which
we live, work, learn and play. They shape space and, therefore, indirectly shape
the experiences we have in side those spaces. Try this interest project to learn
about the tools and techniques architects use to create buildings.
Computers in Everyday Life
The first computers were so large that they would not have fit into your house
