Less than $5 Middle School Problem Solving Projects (by price, low to high)
Designing Novelty Architecture - STEM Design Project
By Innovations in Technology
The unusual and creative designs of Novelty Architecture are immediately interesting to middle school students. This lesson is perfect for an introduction to engineering, design, CAD, careers, advertising/marketing or history.
After a class discussion about the examples in the PowerPoint (and/or the additional examples in the resources section), students design their own functional building that meets the criteria for novelty architecture. They explore some of the potential problems in designing a building of this type and have the opportunity to utilize their creative skills as they find a unique way to create a building that looks like the company’s product or service.
This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.
Included with this Lesson
• Teacher Resources and Lesson Overview
• PowerPoint of examples of Novelty Architecture

My 7th and 8th graders love this project each year and I hope yours will too!
