The Project was initiated by Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Teachers Across the Board to Emphasize Teamwork and Creative Problem-Solving While Integrating Architectural and Artistic Elements.

“Art enhances Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and Has Always done that – We Just Wanted to Point It Out,” Said Christopher Rait, The Board’s Student Achievement Consultant for the Arts.

RAIT SPPE MUCH OF FEB. 14 Setting up the 50-Plus Models to be Displayed as an exhibit at the lynnwood arts center in simcoe. The Tiny Homes Include All Kinds of Features, Everything from Stunning Outdoor Spaces to Detailed Kitchens, Big-Screen Televisions, and Dream Living Spaces.

“I Just Enjoy Looking At Them and Seeing All The Little Things They Put Into them, you see their personalities,” Rait Explained. “A Lot of Them Had Three or Four Kids Working on the Homes, So There’s probably a lot of Negotiation Going on of What The Bedroom is Going to Look Like and What Posters Are Going To Be On The Wall. There’s a lot of planning and you see that – it’s unbelievable. HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS OF WORK. ”

With all models now finished, Rait Spent Time Inspecting Each One and Giving Distinct Kudos Such As the “Exterior Design Award”, Which Went to A trio from Caledonia and was featured on social media.

“The Kids from Notre Dame Were Just So Thrilled Their Group was recognized, the School was really proud of that,” Said Rait. “I think we go to go to get a lot of people (Coming to lynnwood arts) and they go to be amazed with what the Kids have done.”

Elementary School Students Weren’t the Only Ones Whose Work Would Be On Display. Rait enlistered the Help of St. John’s College (Brantford) Students to Build Display Stands and Frames for the Exhibit, and Art Students at Holy Trinity in Simcoe to Paint a Canvas Specific to Each Home, Carefully Extracting the Main Colors from the models that Create Create a dynamic and unique interpretation of the scene.

The exhibit will remain at the center unit April.

“When Kids See Their Work in a gallery, it puts a stamp on it, it valides it and they see what they do have value and can be showcased,” Said Rait. “I think that will inspire Kids Moving Forward.”
