We use a project-based model of education and apply it to real-world challenges. Our students learn about architecture, engineering, urban planning, and design by engaging with the built world that young students can observe around them. Young designers brainstorm, sketch, estimate, design, calculate and construct. They create parks and dream houses. Kids go on I Spy architecture walks, build model skyscrapers and bridges, and more. They apply academic concepts to real world situations. Young people gain a deeper understanding – and appreciation – of their own communities and the wider world. For schools, ArchForKids provides STEAM programs that enrich curriculum, both during the school day and afterschool hours. For museums, libraries and community centers, we lead engaging workshops that explore the built environment. For families and homeschoolers, we offer workshops and mentoring. In addition, ArchForKids offers creative birthday parties – we call them Building Parties. Our educators can come to your location in the NYC area, or we can provide virtual programming to locations around the world. Whatever your educational needs, ArchForKids has something for you!
