Children in St. John Parish learned all about structures and design in April. Local sixth through 12th grade scholars had the opportunity to build and test their own wooden ferris wheel, while third through fifth graders built and tested a wooden windmill and kindergarten through second grade students built a house structure.
The event was designed to teach participants what it takes to create a structurally sound building designs that can be replicated in the real world. By the end of the event, students were also able to identify the different parts of a working structure and understand their importance.
