The Town That Kids Built

Read this American Text about an unusual sort of school programme.

"My children really understand solar power and geothermal energy," says a second-grade teacher in Saugus, California "Some of them are building solar collectors and turbines for their energy course. "These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program, a unique curriculum from kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the process of city planning to teach basic reading, writing, and math skills, and more.

The children don't just plan any city. They map and analyze the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own community and project its needs in 100 years. With the help of an architect consultant who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build Styrofoam models of their creations. "Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom," says Doreen Nelson, the teacher who developed this program. "They are able to use their own space-age fantasies and inventions without fear of criticism, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building phase of the program, an elected "major" and "planning commission" makes all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser."

CBEP is a series of activities, games, and simulations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, creating possible solutions, and evaluating them based on the children's own criteria. Here are some highlights of the program.

The children draw free-form maps of their town and analyze what's "good" and "bad" about it ("The freeway is good because it helps you get places fast, and bad because it produces noise and pollution") to decide what they want in their future city.

To understand the way the towns are organized so that people can deal with the natural environment, the children create an imaginary landscape out of Styrofoam with mountains, rivers, meadows, and forests; they then pretend they're in primitive times. Shelters are constructed. One child, using a hair-dryer, pretends to be the wind; another simulates rain with a water pistol. Those shelters that are too close to the river are washed away in a flood. Afterward, the children discuss their mistakes. In a second version, they may organize into tribes for survival and division of labor. With each simulation they get better at surviving.

In another preliminary exercise for redesigning their town, the children analyze their classroom environment by using a scale model of the room with miniature desks and chairs. Each child presents her or his plan to a small group. Then the most successful plan is chosen and set up in the classroom. This helps the children think of their class as a community, and gives them some control over what is happening in the classroom. It also teaches them the way people can be organized to create and implement a plan that improves the environment. The children also work with the classroom as if it were a city - with aisles as highways, desks as hours, bookcases as the library/cultural center.

A group develops a plan for subdividing the site of their future city into land parcels, using hills, streams, and other features as natural boundaries. Areas are marked off for housing, industry, and open space, and the parcels are distributed to all the students. Then the children try out different forms of government - monarchy, dictatorship, democracy - in order to choose one for the. Planning phase of the city, they elect a ruler who appoints a planning commission to make the final design decisions for each building in the future city.
