But some students at Chesterton High School in Indiana, US, are learning such skills.This school has offered a construction(建筑) course called “building trades”. Since the course began last year, it has attracted(吸引) 36 students. With the help of their teacher Tom Garzella, these students learn to build houses. Garzella said that about one fifth of his students might go into the construction industry in the future.In the beginning, they worked on some small projects around their town. But since last September, they have been working on their first modular house. The house, which is 97 square meters, has three bedrooms. It is near the schools tennis court. Right now, the students are busy putting up the electric wires inside home.The project gives students a chance to learn about the construction trade（施工工种）and see the construction process from start to finish. They can not only learn how to read and follow blueprints（设计图）, but also learn how to work with others to solve hard problems.The course includes some classes about the houses construction. One student designed its floor plan in the architecture（架构）class. And a design class will teach students to decorate the house when its done. The cost of building the house is not low. It has cost about 27,000 so far. But it has already been sold at a low price to an organization that helps homeless and low-income people.Students will finish building the house next February. Then they will ship the house to its final owner in Michigan. The house will be decorated after it is shipped there.26 .
