Extraterrestrial Stilt Houses
The students are Architect Explorers who have a chance to build a house on a new planet. The planet is similar to Earth with the water to land ratio, but the new planet is broken into smaller islands rather than large continents. As such, the materials available on the planet are limited, and the houses must be built on stilts due to the vast amounts of coastal areas. The Architect Explorers have unlimited technology and science available to them. They can choose to use what is on the planet or they can use Earth materials, but their "handy dandy" spaceship cannot carry anything except technology. The students must use their imagination to justify their building materials and practices.
