Summer Learning Clubs: Architect Academy: Design, Build, Defy Gravity (Grades 1-2)
This is a two-day program that takes place on July 27 & 28. One ticket per attendee covers both days.
Class Details
If you had to build a house out of paper, how would you make sure it doesn't collapse when the wind blows? Students in this class will become junior engineers as they explore structural design through build challenges and modeling. From building sturdy bridges to designing dream houses, they'll learn how shapes and materials create the world around us.
Important Information about Summer Learning Clubs
Sessions are grouped by grade levels: Grades 1-2 and Grades 3-5 with the grade level determined by the grade the student is entering in Fall 2026. Students entering Grades 6-8 are invited to join our SLC Pro Series.
Because we are able to admit a limited number of students, you will be charged a deposit of $25 upon registration. Your deposit will be refunded less credit card processing fees upon attendance at both days of class or notification of inability to attend sent to [email protected] or 203-291-4810 by 9 am on Monday, July 20.
The Summer Learning Clubs are made possible by the continuing generosity of Roz and Bud Siegel.
