Despite a border wall, children at the southern border between Mexico’s Chihuahua State and America’s El Paso, Texas, had a chance to play together this week after two architects built a number of seesaws through the metal fence.

Ronald Rael, an architecture professor at the University of California, and Virginia San Fratello, an assistant professor at San José State University, came up with the seesaw project together, according to the social media posts shared by the architects.
