DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE FOR KIDS (all level class)

For ages 6-9 years old

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.

What skills we’ll learn

• Intro to Architecture
  Students will get a glimpse into famous architectural styles, buildings, and architects. This will begin an appreciation for cultural history and the built environment all around us.

• Advanced Spatial Awareness
  By designing and building structures, students will learn to understand scale and perspective, enriching their spatial skills and grasp of geometry.

• Strategic Problem-Solving
  Students will be encouraged to use their critical thinking skills by learning to anticipate challenges, adjust plans, and create innovative solutions.

• Real World Understanding
  Through projects and discussions on building design and construction techniques, students will gain a tangible understanding of the concepts and processes involved in creating real-world structures centered around humans.
