Mini Mansions: Building Sustainable Creations | Grades 4-5

Embrace the power of mini but mighty living in our Mini Mansions camp! Young architects and engineers will learn the essentials of designing small-scale, sustainable homes. Using time-tested principles of architecture and engineering, campers will draft blueprints and construct tiny model homes that maximize space without sacrificing style. They will also consider ways to sustainably power and illuminate their Mini Mansions. By the end of the day, each camper will showcase a unique tiny home with working lights, demonstrating that good things truly come in small packages!
