(All Day) Structural & Architectural Design

Step into the world of architecture and engineering in this engaging design class created with local Twin Cities designers. Explore key architectural concepts and bring your ideas to life through creative design challenges. Learn to use TinkerCAD, a powerful 3D design tool, to plan and build digital models of your own projects. With LEGO building, uncover the science behind structures as you investigate physics, external forces, and strategies for strength and stability. Working with a partner, you will take on advanced building tasks, solve open-ended challenges, and complete hands-on projects that inspire imagination and innovation.
