Empowering the architects of tomorrow
Inspiring kids to be responsible, eco-conscious citizens with hands-on architecture workshops built to fit all the needs of your classroom.
DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE FOR KIDS
Begin a journey of architectural discovery with our engaging and creative hands-on classes designed for kids aged 7 to 12! Every week, young architects will explore the incredible worlds of famous architects and design concepts, growing their creativity through the creation of 2D drawings and 3D models. We transform learning into an exciting adventure, encouraging children to observe and appreciate their built and natural surroundings. As they learn about new concepts, their vocabulary blossoms and their fine motor skills thrive through the exciting process of drawing and model-making, just like real architects in the making!
All supplies will be provided and students will be able to take their models home.
Our curriculum is different every term so students can keep learning and creating with us!
