Little hands that shape the future meet with giant dreams! The world’s most famous mega structures are being rebuilt with the imagination of our little geniuses and the zero-waste approach. With our project, we introduce our preschool and primary school children to sustainability and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) philosophies.
In this project, we enable our children to discover the most impressive architectural structures in the world. The iconic structures in the world will come to life again in tiny hands with recyclable materials and zero-waste awareness. Each child will build these giant structures from their own perspective with the materials they collect, and will both have fun and gain environmental awareness.
The “Zero Waste Reconstruction” project stimulates our children’s imagination while teaching them the importance of protecting nature. Plastic bottles, cardboard, old newspapers, wood shavings, paper; all turn into treasures. In this process supported by STEM-based activities, our little ones develop their problem-solving and analytical thinking skills while also internalizing the philosophy of recycling.
Are you ready to build big structures with tiny hands?
The booklets and works created by our students in our project, which we will carry out with our students between the ages of 4-8, will be exhibited at the end of the project and will be shared with other institutions and disseminated. With this project, we are raising the architects and environmentalists of the future. Learning how our children can protect nature while rebuilding the world will be a big step for both them and our planet. Because big changes start with tiny hearts!
Purpose:
1- To create awareness by raising sustainable life and environmental awareness.
2- To introduce important structures and tourism centers in the world
3- To ensure that children take a step in terms of using technology correctly and to keep them away from excessive digital addiction
4- To ensure that children transform their knowledge into experience.
5- To contribute to engineering studies by developing children’s construction skills.
6- To support our children with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) based activities, to develop their skills such as problem solving, analytical thinking and teamwork.
7- To introduce children to different cultures and structures and to enable them to look at the world from a wider perspective
8- To develop teamwork
9- To increase their sense of curiosity
