Exploring the Built Environment: An Architecture Workshop for Kids

For a week the children learned about skyscrapers, domes, architectural styles,
how to read a floor plan, and architectural vocabulary words.
The last two days of the camp were spent creating
masterpieces, which ranged from a train station to a hunting cabin.
