2021 Saturday Virtual Family Events
Workshops are FREE with advanced registration.
Ticketing will open on the 1st of the month prior to the event
All family workshops are from 10:00 to noon, virtual, and hands on (no computer software).
Designed with younger children in mind (ages 5-10 with chaperone), our family workshops encourage children and their caregivers to explore architecture through hands on activities each month. Workshops start off with an exploration of exciting examples of architecture from around the world and activities that highlight the design process. Then, the kids are off – designing and building their own structures in a whirlwind two hour workshop that culminates in a group presentation.
Required materials for all “Hands On” workshops include:
access to Zoom (via a computer, tablet, or iphone)
a surface to work on
paper
pencil
ruler
scissors
markers, crayons, colored pencils
Workshop Materials Kits are available for purchase to add to your child’s experience during the program. They are not required, however.
For a more detailed description about kit contents or helpful home objects for modeling click here. To purchase a Materials Kit pleas contact Program Director, Kim Owens.
