Introduction to Design & Architecture - TERM 4 Sat (Aug - Sep)

Introducing Children to Architecture Basics and Design Principles through hands-on make and build activities. The 6 weeks program will cover fundamentals of design and architecture elements relating to form, function, materials and architectural representations explored through sketching and model making.

The 2-hour weekly classes help to reinforce creative concepts and skills learnt and to build awareness of how good designs enhance our lives in our built environment. Students will have a great time immersed in their creative making, testing and experimenting with new ideas in our weekly themed classes.

In Term 4, students will design various Objects from wearables to functional and playful ones! Student will learn the laws of Physics as they design their own Marble Run Maze structure; learn the ergonomics of a chair design as they create their own miniature prototypes; learn the essence of light and shadow through building a lamp structure; learn various architectural roof forms to translate to wearable hats and also to understand gravity and air resistance in the designing of their own Airborne Vessel. In addition, students will have the opportunity to collaborate in pairs to build a life-size chair applying the concept of modules in their design. It shall be another fun term of learning diverse topics and hands-on creative making!

DesignTinkers camps are specially curated and led by instructors who are educators, architects and designers with the passion and experience of working with young children to nurture their creative interests. Camps are held in our spacious and conducive classroom for kids to create and explore freely under guidance.

Parent Testimonial:

"My child has been with DesignTinkers for over a year with more than 20 proud “masterpieces”. What makes the program so unique is the incredible team committed to nurturing creativity and independent thinking for the young minds. It’s way beyond just crafting and building." Michelle S.

"Thank you for sharing the class summary as well as the photos. This really helps a lot in understanding what the kids had focused on during their class. I also appreciate your "growth mindset" approach, which helps them build the resilience and know how to get better at what they do. My child and I look forward to another class in the coming weekend." Sabrina W.
