“Each step in the workshops helps to develop their drawings further – different type of tasks along the term create these really advanced designs at the end. Happy to see some kids being really engaged in all the activities”

Evita

“The workshop was really inspiring and got the young people really into the project as now they were taught about 3D perspective this challenged their views and sparked whether their designs were actually practical”

Cleopatra

“Mathilde enjoyed the workshop and thought it was ‘so fun and exciting!”

Nylda

“This week was yet another successful but even better session. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching Queens Park School. Our presentation this week was based on Chris Wilkinson and ALL QPS Archimakers were very eager to participate and excited to begin their drawings. The children were a lot faster with their drawings and were more involved with answering questions I had for them. I believe each week will get them to improve on their drawing skills and expand their knowledge even further.”

Busra

“Yesterday’s session was really good we were a bit tight on time with this project as there was some technical difficulties – however they did do their best in the time they had. It was a bit of a challenge for them however I feel like they took on the challenge well and really executed the drawings well”

Cleopatra

“Sota really enjoyed it and part of the treehouse project, he really wants to connect with people.”
