Posted By: Josaine Richards On: 12/10/2007 4:03:54 PM Is there a concept for introducing building codes to new student?
Posted By: Barbara Nikoomanesh On: 12/13/2007 3:40:14 PM Depending on the age level of the students, Box City is a great way to introduce students to city codes. You can contact your city to get a copy of the city building codes for reference. In the Box City lesson, students learn about codes and create their own city, following the building codes. It's great for them to see and understand why you would not want to build a school right next to an industrial building. CUBE, the Center for Understanding the Built Environment is a great resource for Box City. Babs https://www.cubekc.org/
