CLIMATE CHANGE: LIVING WITH NATURE

For Grades 4th - 12th

During this in-museum field trip, a MODA instructor will guide students through an exploration of how design can help people live with the forces of nature. Students will examine how weather, climate, geography, and environmental conditions influence the way homes, buildings, and communities are designed around the world.

They’ll learn how thoughtful design can make communities safer, more sustainable, and better prepared for a changing climate. Students will then become climate-conscious designers by creating their own building prototype inspired by environmental challenges using LEGO® bricks. 

Along the way, we’ll practice creative problem-solving, innovation, and systems thinking while exploring how design can help shape a more resilient future.
