Explore large structures and what it takes to build them with this new five-part series. Hosted by David Macaulay, the award-winning author and illustrator of The Way Things Work and other books, each one-hour program focuses on a type of construction integral to modern life: bridges, tunnels, dams, skyscrapers, and domes. Discover the stories behind famous structures and their builders, plus how engineers today are building bigger than ever before. Each video also includes a short vignette featuring kids doing a simple hands-on engineering activity. Educators can easily re-create these activities using the printed instructions that are included.

Also included is a short video for middle-school students that explores a key theme from the series, and a 40-page, full color activity guide.
