Bring your imagination and creativity to the Center for Architecture’s Design Lab, a series of hands-on workshops aimed at middle school students interested in exploring architecture. Each week we’ll experiment with various materials, structural techniques, and fun design challenges that build students’ 3D design thinking and skills. Students will synthesize these initial ideas and experiences into their own culminating design project over the final few weeks of the class.
