FREE "Building Homes of Our Own" CD-ROM interactive simulation game
Of interest?
"Building Homes of Our Own" is an interactive teaching tool for the middle and high school classroom environment. The simulation presents a macro view of the entire home building process from site selection to final sale. Students collect information, solve problems and make choices as they build a 3D home against a budget, then review credit applications and sell to the buyer of their choice.
The new program is part of the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB ) ongoing educational outreach initiative, in partnership with the National Housing Endowment, Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters and Freddie Mac.
Building Homes of Our Own is free to educators serving schools with enrollments of 100 students or more* and members of the National Association of Home Builders.
*In order to serve schools with enrollments of less than 100, Building Homes of Our Own is also free to public libraries upon request.
As an Educator, seems you need a valid school address.
Might be better to apply as a Builder?
