Green Designers Grades 6-8 Girls will learn how to make the world a better place. Girls learn about green design and in the process develop science and engineering skills. They construct their dream studio from start to finish – from brainstorming an idea, to creating a floor plan, to building with green materials. Girls will begin this unit by doing different activities that stress human impact on the environment and the current strategies people implement to reduce this impact. Through construction and planning, girls explore and reflect on their energy usage in their home and consider ways in which they can change their habits to lessen their environmental impact. They decorate their designs with recycled and green materials.
