About This Class

In this hands-on workshop, children become architects of their imagination as they build their very own dream homes—using only recycled materials! Over two exciting days, young designers will sketch, plan, and construct their dream spaces while learning about sustainability, creativity, and the basics of design thinking.

From towers made of toilet rolls to rooftop gardens made with bottle caps, students will explore how to turn everyday items into magical, meaningful creations. The course ends with a mini showcase where children proudly present their homes and share what inspired them.

Build with Purpose

With creativity as the only limit, kids construct their dream homes using glue, tape, and imagination—designing everything from rooms to rooftops.
