Bring STEM, Geography and Design Technology together with The Great Landmark Building Challenge – an exciting, hands-on project that transforms pupils into architects and engineers. Working collaboratively, children research a famous world landmark, design a model, build their structure and overcome real-world engineering challenges before presenting their final creation to the class. The resource is supported by an engaging PowerPoint presentation that guides pupils through each stage of the challenge.

Through a structured six-stage process, pupils investigate the history, location and key features of a landmark, create a detailed design plan, select appropriate materials and construct a model that is both recognisable and stable. Along the way, challenge cards introduce unexpected problems, encouraging pupils to think critically, adapt their designs and develop resilience.

Ideal for STEM days, enrichment activities, project-based learning or cross-curricular topic work, this engaging challenge develops teamwork, communication, problem-solving and creativity while deepening pupils' understanding of significant landmarks around the world.
