Modular Design

Modular Design, a Webelos Elective Adventure

The Webelos Cub Scout handbook says,”Some of your favorite building toys are probably modular. Learning to build using modular design is a good way to conserve resources. In this Adventure, you will gain an understanding of modular design, build using modular-based materials, and practice making directions for others to follow.”

Read on for the requirements and ideas you can use to complete them.

Requirements:

1. Learn what modular design is and identify three things that use modular design in their construction.
2. Using modular-based building pieces, build a model without a set of instructions.
3. Using the model made in requirement 2, create a set of step-by-step instructions on how to make your model.
4. Have someone make your model using your instructions.
5. Using the same modular pieces used in requirement 2, build another model of something different.
6. With your parent or legal guardian’s permission, watch a video demonstrating how something was built using modular design.
