Workshop modules
the tower challenge
-
Duration - 3/4 hours
The Tower workshop aims to teach students the structural system of a building, the importance of triangulation with the effect of cross connections, to get to know wood as a building material and to learn the structural properties of wood.
-
Ages 4–6: Focus on stacking, balancing, and simple shapes to understand basic stability.
Ages 7–10: Experiment with triangles, weight distribution, and teamwork to create stronger structures.
Ages 11–14: Dive into reinforcement techniques and explore real-world applications like skyscrapers and bridges.
Ages 15–18: Tackle advanced engineering concepts, testing materials, and designing tall yet earthquake-resistant towers!
Sweet architecture
-
Duration - 3 hours
In Arkki’s Sweet Architecture module, children use lollies and wooden sticks to build creative structures while exploring angles, balance, and stability. By experimenting with different triangular and rectangular frames, they discover how shapes affect strength and how architects use geometry in real-world designs.
-
Ages 4–6: Learn basic shapes and patterns, experimenting with simple structures while having fun with colors and textures.
Ages 7–10: Explore triangles, domes, and bridges, discovering how different shapes create strength and balance.
Ages 11–14: Apply engineering principles to design more complex and stable structures, testing their weight-bearing capacity.
Ages 15–18: Challenge architectural skills by creating advanced, multi-level designs, experimenting with geometry, load distribution, and aesthetics.
LEGO MEGA BUILDING
-
Duration - 3 hours
In Arkki’s LEGO® Mega Buildings module, children take their creativity to new heights by designing and constructing massive structures using official LEGO® bricks. They’ll explore engineering principles, balance, and load distribution, learning how real skyscrapers and landmarks are built to stand tall and strong.
-
Ages 5–7: Build simple towers and bridges, learning about stability, balance, and basic patterns.
Ages 8–10: Experiment with reinforcement techniques, testing stronger and taller structures using LEGO®.
Ages 11–14: Apply engineering concepts like load-bearing, modular design, and interlocking structures.
FLOATY HOUSE
-
Duration - 2 hours
In Arkki’s Floaty House module, children explore buoyancy, balance, and stability by designing and building their own floating homes using hands-on materials. Through trial and testing, they learn how architects and engineers create structures that can adapt to water-based environments.
By experimenting with weight distribution and floatation, kids develop problem-solving skills and creativity, gaining insight into real-world solutions for rising sea levels and sustainable living!
-
Ages 7–9: Learn about floating vs. sinking, experiment with basic shapes and materials, and build small floating structures.
Ages 10–12: Explore weight distribution, waterproofing, and balance, designing more stable and functional floating homes.
Ages 13–14: Tackle advanced concepts like flood-resistant architecture, modular floating cities, and environmental sustainability.
POP-UP HOUSE
