7th Grade Skyscraper Hotel Competition

Today, seventh graders competed in the 2015 NYC Hotel Skyscraper competition. Developers visited their architecture firms' booths and voted on the following categories:
-best skyscraper design 
-best skyscraper engineering 
-most creative use of building materials 
-architect award for best blueprint
-best in show 

They shared their 3D models and blueprints and explained their engineering techniques and design inspiration. Additionally, the students created travel guides for their hotel guests. Their brochures and posters were on display, and the blog urls are listed below the pictures.

Students were visited by a representative from Distrikt Hotel in midtown Manhattan. Our student's work was featured on the Distrikt Hotel blog, NYC Stoop Talk.
