The Gateway Arch

#See the World!

This Challenge charged us makers to create something iconic -- a place or famous thing on this planet. The thing I decided to model for the Challenge is not just a famous place to see in the world.

From our very pilgrimage to North America to Lewis and Clark's adventure, we have run full-speed into the unknown. From Alaska to the Moon, Americans have always been curious people.
