Architecture & Model Building:
Tiny Homes (Gr. 5–8)

Step into the role of an architect. In this immersive design lab, students master the full lifecycle of a project: from architectural drafting and circuit integration to 3D-printing custom furniture. By the end of the series, your builder will have turned a digital concept into a tangible, high-quality scale model of their dream home.

 

Build with confidence as students learn hand and power tool techniques, precision construction, and professional finishing skills.

Course Description
