I selected the Great Mosque of Djenne in Mali, West Africa. It's an important place of worship for Muslims and is known for its unique Sudano-Sahelian architecture. The local community comes together each year to maintain and replaster the building. This site connects to my teaching because it shows how African communities use science. technology, and traditional knowledge to solve real-world problems. It also helps students recognize that African cultures have made important contributions to engineering, architecture, and sustainable building practices.
