Original: 🪵 WATCH: Diné farmer and builder Roberto Nutlouis constructs traditional # hogans using # wood and # earth to create pas

Diné farmer and builder Roberto Nutlouis is featured constructing traditional hogans from wood and earth, structures that act as passive thermal barriers against desert heat. In the PBS NOVA Knowledge Keepers segment, STEM instructor Dawnlei Ben uses infrared cameras to demonstrate how the design keeps interiors cool, highlighting Indigenous engineering knowledge.

Why now: A PBS NOVA segment showcasing Indigenous building science with infrared imaging is drawing interest.
