Beyond problem-solving, collaboration, and other analytical skills, these activities help instill a sense of spatial awareness, encourage methods of creative thinking, and allow kids to explore their city in a new way. Our series, Working out of the Box, demonstrates many of the transferrable skills learned through architecture. In other words, teaching architecture to kids has very little to do with actually grooming future architects. In a study, titled "Design as a Catalyst for Learning," the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development notes that "when children are engaged in the process of designing, they are learning to identify needs, frame problems, work collaboratively, explore and appreciate the contexts within which a solution must work, weigh alternatives, and communicate their ideas verbally, graphically, and in three dimensions." For those already expecting little builders out of their offspring, here are a few summer camp options to tide them over.Įven if your child might not be inclined one-day to take up a draft board or become an expert in AutoCAD, these camps offer a valuable learning opportunity for children. For parents, this is often an urgent reminder that the school year will be ending soon and plans need to be in place for the summer. At least in Los Angeles, we have already started hitting temperatures over 90 degrees Fahrenheit signaling the coming of summer.
