The Complexity of Design




This city erected by Henry and several other classmates was a engineering feat as they encounterd some challenges presented by the very nature of the materials chosen.

  3. The balancing skills presented by Henry and his classmates are very impressive! It is wonderful that the children have figured out where the center of balance is for the different loose materials. The design skills the children came up with to create this city is also beautiful and it is incredible how the children can create the city with simple loose materials.
