She proposed utilizing the National Association of Women in Construction Education Foundation Create*Design*Build curriculum for a middle school or high school class. Rochester Public Schools invited her to lead the Create*Design*Build class for middle school students in the Summer of Discover program at Kellogg Middles School in June. The main classroom teacher Ms. Emily Wartsbaugh, an art teacher at Kellogg Middle School, helped revise the curriculum to meet the abilities of the summer program attendees who ranged from incoming 6th to 8th grade students with varying math and English speaking skills. The first day Ms. W welcomed the class and set the classroom behavior expectations. Johnson shared the City of Rochester Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Commitment Statement with the students and the MnDOT Respectful Workplace guidelines. Students were asked to stretch in the morning, just like they do on a construction site to get ready for the work day. DMC District Riverfront Small Area Plan draft maps were provided to the students, so they could see what was is currently in the DMC District. Students were also given Riverfront Small Area Plan coloring sheets, colored pencils and Post It notes to put what they imagine could be on the sites. They generated creative ideas including a barber shop with an adjacent basketball court, a new YMCA, a basketball gym with a glass ceiling, a casino, restaurants, and even an indoor zoo. The students were divided into groups of three to five students and asked to select one building to create. They drew their imagined project on graph paper and then doubled the size of the drawing on foam core. They cutout and hot glued the sides of their buildings together and to the base. They drew or cut out windows and doors and even some built furniture to go inside their building. (Left) Middle school art teacher Emily Wartsbaugh explains her classroom behavior expectations.
