Course Content: 

Children are also introduced to space planning and learn how to draw their ideal room plan before testing their building forms in 3D. Every project is different and child-led; we guide each child to be confident in expressing their ideas and showing them ways to materialise them. The children will be amazed by their own creations at the end of this workshop!
