Frank Lloyd Wright Architect explains — Build, Design, Discover 🧭

1. Blueprint Mini-Builds: Every student gets a cut-out “plan” and builds one of three paper models — the Pyramid, Parthenon, or “Leaning Tower of Pizza.”

2. Team Structures: Using our Ultra-Light Flats, students collaborate to design and raise a freestanding structure—learning bracing, balance, and teamwork.

3. Tunnel Challenge: We convert the flats into a walk-through tunnel and challenge classes to move through without collapsing it—testing problem-solving and group communication.

The result is a joyful intro to design thinking, structural engineering, and the idea that great buildings start with great ideas on paper.

Highlights

1. 🧭 From blueprints to build: see plans, then construct
2. ✂️ Hands-on paper models for every child (choose 1 of 3)
3. 🧱 Ultra-Light Flats = big, safe building pieces for team challenges
4. 🤝 Collaboration, sequencing, spatial reasoning, and perseverance
5. 🎶 Music, mics, and an engaging architectural backdrop

What’s Included

1. 2 performers, pro sound with mics, music
2. Architectural backdrop, Ultra-Light Flats set
3. Cut-out blueprint kits (one per student)
4. All facilitation and crowd flow

Requirements

1. Indoors with open space for building and a short walkway for the tunnel
2. Tables or floor space for paper model cutting/assembly
3. Scissors (classroom sets) helpful; we can bring extras
4. Ideal for whole school or two large groups

Learning Goals

1. Read simple plans/blueprints and follow steps
2. Understand load, support, symmetry, and stability
3. Practice team roles: designers, builders, test-walkers
4. Connect world architecture to history & culture

Bring architecture to life—where every student designs, builds, and walks through their own success.
