"Project Blueprint" was a fun-filled week of exploration through engineering, design and architecture. Camp Discovery took a trip on Tuesday to the INK Museum (Interactive Neighborhood for Kids), where campers discovered the different buildings and businesses that create a neighborhood. On Thursday, campers made a visit to LEGOLAND to work on their building and design skills. From the Innovator's Playground perspective, the children focused on building for the future. On Tuesday, Innovator's Playground visited the Museum Of Design Atlanta (MODA) to learn about the Beltline Project and begin their discussion about possible future uses for the Turner field area. They then visited the old Fulton County Stadium site and Turner Field to get an idea of the size of the space and to get a feel for the community around it. From that experience, students imagined what the re-development of the area might look like. By collaborating, compromising and working as a team, they built two different models of what the Turner Field area might become. Though the specifics of their two models differ, all the students agreed on the importance of green space, pedestrian access and sustainability. Camp Discovery and Innovator's Playground joined together on Friday in the gym to present their creations within "Box City." Thank you to everyone who came by for a visit and we hope you enjoyed your children's visions!
