Hands-On Learning,
Ready for Your Classroom
Petit Architect workshops bring creative design and architecture directly to your students with no extra prep and no complicated materials. Each session is carefully designed to align with curriculum goals, so your students build real skills while having fun.
Key Benefits:
Curriculum-Aligned: Our programs are aligned with the Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies.
Engaging for All Students: Perfect for learners who thrive through creativity and hands-on projects.
Flexible & Easy to Book: Workshops fit your schedule and class size, and can be adapted to fit your budget and teaching goals.
Bilingual Options: Choose sessions in English or French.
We are eligible for grants like VICE VERSA, or PASSEPART for CSF schools and the new grant for French Immersion schools (grades 6 to 12), IMMERS’ART.
“Petit Architect led an excellent workshop. The presenter was knowledgeable, asked thought-provoking questions and facilitated an activity that students were very engaged with. I would definitely host a Petit Architect workshop in my class again, especially with ImmerseArt funding.
I especially appreciated the grant because it provides all families the ability to participate in quality French experiences like Petit Architect that may not have been otherwise accessible to them.”

I really liked the expertise of the presenter. The opportunity for hands on learning for my students. The connections made between the classroom and the career paths connected to architecture.

Loved everything. The educators was phenomenal and my students really connected with her! She had a plan that was age-appropriate, everything was clearly outlined, and she was able to delegate instructions to the students in a small and large group setting.
