About this resource
On his way home from school in Cape Town, Batho begins noticing shapes everywhere. There are triangles, arches, circles and spirals in Table Mountain, the Castle of Good Hope, Zeitz MOCAA, Bosjes Chapel and the natural world around him.
But these shapes aren't only something to identify. Batho discovers how engineers and designers use them to create strength, balance and stability, turning an everyday journey through Cape Town into an introduction to how the built world works.
A distinctly South African STEAM story that connects geometry, engineering and architecture to things children can actually see around them.
