Take a look at how skyscrapers were designed, how engineers make sure they stay upright and how the science of gravity means they don’t fall down. Find out about scale, plans and perspective, explore interesting architecture from bridges and tunnels to cathedrals and stadiums, and admire the work of some of the world’s most famous architects. Try activities such as designing your own skyscraper using marshmallows and spaghetti.
Inject some fun into STEAM topics, with these lively examinations of buildings, robots, computers, vehicles, materials and space! This bright, colourful series aims to inspire children aged 8 and up with a lifelong love of STEAM subjects.
