“This is an accumulation end to our semester on architecture,” says teacher Allison Espy.
Students split into 10 groups to rotate through 10 different architectural themed stations. The stations ranged from hands on arts and crafts to learning dance that helps students remember the process of building.

K-scope students were not the only young people at the event.
“We are so blessed to have interns help manage the stations,” said Criss Arrlington.
These interns included Coosa High school students involved in the Executive Internship Program. This internship program is a volunteer opportunity where students gain workplace experience and learn more about different jobs and career fields to help them decide on future career goals.
