Architecture and Design Camp
Explore the exciting world of architecture and design in this creative camp. Students will learn about the design process while testing their ideas through art, building activities, and architectural challenges. Developed in collaboration with local Twin Cities designers, the class introduces key concepts of structure, form, and space through hands-on projects and model building. Students will also use the 3D design tool TinkerCAD to plan and design their own architectural creations, experimenting with digital design and problem solving. From imaginative sketches to computer models, students will bring their ideas to life while exploring the foundations of architecture.
