00 I Design Brief | Acton Taipei

In this studio, we will learn about erosion! Erosion happens when soil and land get washed or blown away. It can happen because of rain, wind, farming, or changes in the weather. Erosion can hurt homes, animals, and plants, and can change the land around us. You will be little engineers! You will pick a place where erosion is happening, learn about it, and think of ways to stop it. You can make models or small experiments to show how your ideas work. At the end, you will share your solution and show how it can help the people, animals, and plants in that place.

Studio Brief

Final Project Expectations

In this project, you will work on the problem of erosion. You will pick one place where erosion is happening and learn what is causing it.

You will think of new ideas to stop erosion and help the soil stay strong. You can make a model or small prototype to show how your idea works.

Finally, you will share your idea and show how it can help the people, animals, and plants in that place.
