 Native Americans built different types of homes to address the challenges of widely varied environments. In this program, families will explore ancient engineering while constructing simple models of a sod house, a *wetu*, a plank house, and a tipi, and they will have the opportunity to compare Native American homes in the museum exhibit dioramas.

 Designed for adults and children to share; at least one adult requested for every four children.

 Regular museum admission rates apply.  
Advance reservations required: [peabody.harvard.edu](https://www.peabody.harvard.edu/ancient-engineering-family-class).

 Presented in collaboration with the Cambridge Science Festival
