Archimake Newsletter 5

This week was the children’s favourite since it meant finally working on models! Our children enjoy working on models and have been waiting the since the beginning to begin working on their designs- like true architects and engineers.  Based on their drawings for The Kew Garden Treehouse competition brief inspired by the two architects introduced in the first two weeks, Richard Rogers and Chris Wilkinson, the children worked in groups on the selected drawings.
The term is flying by so fast we are already preparing for our End of Term presentations! The event will take place on Saturday March 26th at 10.45-12.30pm. As usual we have our esteemed guests attending to give Archimakers feedback on their projects. We strongly recommend you come along with your child if you are thinking of booking next term. Please feel free to invite friends you think will be interested to attend. To get an idea of what to expect,

We also have our Easter Holiday Camp visit now available! A morning trip to see the RIBA award winning LSE building in Lincolns Inn Fields! Its a latest project by Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners, so would be great for our Archimakers to see their first Richard Rogers project in real life. We will be given a tour by the project architect and will be also given a drawing workshop! On Friday 8th April 10-2pm.
Our workshops at our new venue at Katherine Warington School in Harpenden, have started well and this week we were very pleased to see Archimake after school workshops were mentioned in the school newsletter – Click here to see it! We have our largest group of Archimakers at KWS- 30! Its a hybrid lesson only possible as a result of the technology and how we have adapted our workshops to ensure they are still just as fun! This new form or workshop is proving a success story for Children’s University Westminster who have asked us to continue our hybrid workshops next term. We are looking to start these with more schools, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss this with us.
Now on to the important things – Design work…!

“The modelmaking workshop is always the one, one can tell how much they have learned in this time. Everything comes together – design, practical side of architecture and also structural elements. I like how innovative they get when solving all of these problems.”
