This interactive building tool allows students to create and print 3-D houses and communities from the Medieval, Native American, Colonial, and Contemporary American time periods. Using the computer, students decide what era they wish to investigate and then they design, print, and construct 3-D building models. Students are responsible for developing entire buildings and can customize the look by adding porches, Windows, trim, or any number of add-ons available from the Construction Area.
Students can also add people, plants and animals to give their work a community feel.
After finalizing their buildings and printing their work, students can work in groups to create 3-D communities. The teacher s guide offers ideas for classroom activities. An evaluator with Lesley College s Instructional Computing Department thoroughly enjoyed this program, calling Community Construction Kit a must for every primary classroom.
