Some of your favorite building toys are probably already modular! Learning to build using modular design isn’t just fun – it’s a fantastic way to conserve resources and think like an engineer.
In this elective adventure, Webelos will dive into the world of modular design, build custom models using modular-based materials (like LEGO or similar building blocks), and practice creating clear, step-by-step directions for others to follow. It’s the perfect blend of creativity, problem-solving, and communication.
Adventure Requirements
To earn the Modular Design adventure pin, Webelos must complete the following six requirements:
- Discover Modular Design: Learn what modular design is and identify three things in the real world that use modular design in their construction.
- Free Build: Using modular-based building pieces, build a model completely from your imagination, without using a set of instructions.
- Write the Manual: Using the model you made in requirement 2, create a set of step-by-step instructions on how to build it.
- Test Your Instructions: Have someone else try to build your exact model using only the instructions you created.
- Reimagine & Rebuild: Take the model apart! Using the exact same modular pieces from requirement 2, design and build a completely different model.
- See It in the Real World: With a parent or legal guardian’s permission, watch a video demonstrating how something in real life was built using modular design.
Price: $65 for Non-Members. Members save $15!
