5-day Design + Architecture Holiday Camp (Dec)

DesignTinkers 5-day Holiday Camp offer various hands-on and inquiry-based projects exploring ideas to various creative make and build activities designed for children to inquire, think critically and learn new skills to prototype their ideas from 2D to 3D.

We encourage children to collaborate in teams to work on the projects, learning to communicate and problem solve effectively, developing the essential 21st Century Skills in a fun and engaging way.

First day at camp, children will explore design and architectural concepts through sketching and hands-on building with a range of materials, teamworking in groups and also working individually.

Second day at camp, children will be introduced to the concept of Modules in Design and get creative working with everyday objects to design their own unique modules before transforming them into a replicable system to form infinite designs.

By the 3rd day at camp, children will start a project-based workshop where they get to design a home for themselves or their family. Children will apply Design Thinking principles in understanding the needs and challenges of who they are designing for and be introduced to the basics of space planning for a home. They will translate their 2D planning to 3D model with consideration for architectural scale, light, ventilation, views and communal landscape area in their design. They will learn basic model making and get creative re-using, re-purposing and transforming re-cycled materials into their unique individual home model prototype.

Children have lots of fun building at this workshop and they are always eager to share their creations with parents at pick-up time! DesignTinkers camps are specially curated and led by instructors who are experienced architects 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 freely and explore various make-and-build activities.
