The Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB) in 2024 was fun and cool and all that. It also afforded an opportunity for Mobile Makers to partner in the creation of a curriculum toolkit for teaching architecture to school-aged kids.
Each year the CAB works to create a curriculum toolkit that relates to the theme of the Biennial – this theme was titled “This is a Rehearsal.”
You can find the toolkit on the CAB website. You will also see another toolkit from the previous CAB, when the theme was “The Available City.”
Admittedly, these themes are rather abstract…but the toolkits have some solid ideas that might help you to incorporate the built environment into your teaching.
