Architecture Kids

Really annoying when you get a study image all set up and someone just walks through the middle. 🤦♂️ Experimenting with Architecture and Animation - Some of the exercises we do at ArchitectureKids 👍🚀 #architecture #animation #education #STEAM #STEM #architecturekids

Sometimes the simplest modules create the most fascinating geometries. Structural experiments with paper is one of the fun exercises we do at Architecture Kids. www.ArchitectureKids.co.uk #education #schools #STEM #ArchitectureKids #creativedesign

How many shapes tesselate in 3D? We count 28 forms, from 11 families of shapes from simple cubes to complexed gyrobifastigium. This is part of the exciting world of geometry where thinking in 3D goes beyond the conventional axial references of X, Y and Z. Its a geometry gym for the mind, and forms some of the exciting workshops we deliver through Architecture Kids 🚀👍🚀 https://lnkd.in/eSsdnUzq

Paper engineering is an awesome medium to play with - Imagining large scale exciting structures with just a few sheets of scrap A4 paper. Great fun, and these are some of the inspiring design exercises we do with kids in schools. #ArchitectureKids #education #school #STEM

School absenteeism and lack of student engagement is in the news today. Many school kids and young people are struggling to find their spark or their place in the school environment. We have a solution. Its called 'Architecture Kids'! Our programmes of creative design workshops engage with students in supportive, collaborative working environments focused on issues that are important to them. We then build connections to academic subjects by application. It's not teaching. Its creative design workshop facilitation, focused on the student's agendas. We find sparks in young minds and then fuel the energy with creative fun, drawing links to relevant areas of the National Curriculum. Check out our website.

So many people I meet say they would have loved to have trained as an architect but they were discouraged because their maths or physics were not good enough.  Don’t worry about maths or physics.  Buy a calculator instead! There are about 46,000 architects in the UK and I bet you won’t find two the same.  Architecture is a subject with a wide professional scope, there is a place for everyone and I would suggest that individual talents need to be encouraged.  Architecture is a subject which spans all subjects, from arts, languages and the humanities side of the national curriculum to maths, sciences and technology - there’s room for everyone! So don't be afraid of maths, science and academic subjects. They will find you, in support of the awesome designs you create! #creativedesign #architecturekids #creativeschools

Here's some of our favourite books on creative thinking, which help shape our design workshops for kids. If you are into creative thinking, I hope they spark some interest ⚡ Let us know if you have any recommendations too 👍 #creativedesign #creativeschools #architecturekids #designworkshops

Save Paper - And Be Creative With It!! Exploring the creative potential of a single sheet of paper can open up new avenues of design and spatial understanding, especially for children. In our blog post from Architecture Kids, the transformative power of folding, cutting, adding, slotting, and drawing on paper illustrates the creative potential of such a simple material. This accessible medium helps children (and adults alike) re-engage with 3D space and form, developing fine motor skills and imaginative thinking. Start with a simple sheet and take it to innovative creations 👍😊 https://lnkd.in/e4jWgEMJ #CreativeDesign #ArchitectureKids #PaperArt #InnovativeLearning #3DDesign #Imagination

"Architecture is like blending art with making skills in DT" (From a year 8 school student). What does 'Architecture' mean to school-age kids? Please ask one and let us know 👍 Thanks 🙏 #architecture #education #creativedesign #creativefun #architecturelearning
