Fall After-School Classes
Our after-school classes are perfect for curious, creative kids who love building, drawing, inventing, and exploring new ideas. No previous experience is needed, just a willingness to imagine and create!
Tiny Architects
In this class, for our youngest learners, we introduce children to the magical world of architecture, where they will play with geometric shapes, explore patterns, and let their creativity soar. As they build and play, not only will they build up their fine arts and motor skills, but they'll also embark on a journey discovering fascinating tales about famous architects and iconic buildings.
For kids 4-6
Design Thinkers & Makers
Step into the world of professional design with challenging, hands-on projects! Students tackle creative builds like lamps, playgrounds, furniture, and more while mastering the full design process. With small class sizes and personalized guidance, each student develops advanced skills to bring their boldest ideas to life. This class is ideal for those who have taken our classes before.
For kids 7+
Design & Architecture for Kids
In this hands-on architecture class, young designers explore famous architects, design concepts, and real-world buildings. Each week, students build creativity and confidence through 2D drawing and 3D model-making. They’ll develop design vocabulary, fine motor skills, and an appreciation for the world around them, just like real architects in training!
For kids 7-12
