The National Building Museum hosted their annual Scout Days last month with over 600 girl scouts and cub scouts taking part. Activities included recognizing and solving design problems, testing civil and aerodynamic engineering principles, weighing environmental issues and learning to "read" the buildings around them. The Main Hall was filled with scouts drawing, creating and building and the Metro that afternoon was full of projects.
One activity included drawing a plan, elevation and section of a pepper (capsicum). The NBM have used peppers regularly to demonstrate this concept and have recently had ceramic peppers made for use in all their drawing programs.
