Design a Shipping Container House

Ever dreamed of living in a tiny home that’s eco-friendly, stylish, and totally unique? In this creative STEAM camp, kids ages 7-12 will become architects for a day and design their very own shipping container house!

Campers will:

  • Explore sustainable living and learn how shipping containers can be transformed into amazing homes.

  • Sketch and plan their ideal tiny house, thinking about space, comfort, and creativity.

  • Build a 3D model using recycled materials, cardboard, and craft supplies to bring their designs to life.

  • Problem-solve like real architects—how to fit a bedroom, kitchen, and even a rooftop garden into a small space!

  • Share their designs with the group and explain their innovative ideas.

By the end of the day, each camper will have a model of their very own shipping container home and a new understanding of how design can make small spaces both functional and fun. No experience needed—just bring your imagination!

Perfect for: Young creators, future architects, eco-warriors, and anyone who loves to design and build!
