Jr. Architects. BIG discoveries. 🏠️ 🏬🏛️✨

We had so much fun exploring different kinds of buildings this week!

Kids tested out different kinds of materials to create all sorts of structures! When we built too high, we watched our creations topple before changing our plan and trying again. This is the engineering design process in action!

Swipe through to see some of the structures we built this week in our STEM classes.

And if your little engineer is ready to get curious with us, come join the fun next week. Book online now!
