242 Jr. Architect (formerly We Built This City)
Look up, look down, look all around -- amazing constructions surround us! From sidewalks to skyscrapers and buildings to bridges, investigate how arches, crossbeams, rocks and metals form structures strong enough to support thousands of cars or thousands of people. Discover how science, art, engineering and architecture are all used to construct our city. Experiment with a variety of building materials, then become an engineer as you design and create structures of your own!
