    Additional Information: Items may vary slightly due to availability. This crate contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3. Contents are not edible.

    • 100 Buildings and Architectural Forms Book by David Drazil (112 pages): This step-by-step guide makes learning architectural drawing accessible and fun. Kids will practice sketching world-famous landmarks, from bridges and towers to skyscrapers and stadiums, while learning essential concepts like:
    • Perspective: Understand how distance and angles create realistic drawings.
    • Proportion: Learn how architects ensure buildings look balanced and symmetrical.
    • Spatial Relationships: Discover how different structures interact within a single space.
    • 9x12 Sketch Pad: A spacious sketchbook perfect for architectural drafts, perspective studies, and creative design ideas.
    • 3D Wooden Model: Eiffel Tower: Build a miniature model of this iconic Parisian landmark and discover the engineering principles behind its structural integrity.
    • Set of Drawing Pencils: A complete set of pencils with varying hardness levels – ideal for sketching fine details, shading large areas, and experimenting with architectural textures.

    Who Is This Architecture Kit for Kids Perfect For? Middle and High School (ages 12+)

    • Teens and tweens with a passion for art, architecture, or design.
    • Homeschool families looking to add a creative, STEM-focused project to their curriculum.
    • Educators teaching geometry, design principles, or art history.
    • Creative kids who enjoy hands-on learning and want to build real-world skills.

     Why Architecture?

    🎯 What academic standards does this crate align with? 

    Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):

    • MS-ETS1-2: Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. Alignment: Students engage in designing and building models, such as the 3D Wooden Eiffel Tower, fostering evaluation of design solutions.
    • MS-ETS1-4: Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process to achieve an optimal design. Alignment: The crate's activities involve creating and refining architectural drawings and models, promoting iterative testing and design optimization.

    National Core Arts Standards (NCAS):

    • VA:Cr1.2.6a: Formulate an artistic investigation of personally relevant content for creating art.
    • Alignment: Through sketching world-famous landmarks and engaging in creative design projects, students explore personally meaningful artistic expressions.
    • VA:Re7.1.8a: Explain how a person’s aesthetic choices are influenced by culture and environment and impact the visual image that one conveys to others.
    • Alignment: Learning about various architectural styles and their historical significance helps students understand the cultural influences on design aesthetics.

    Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM):

    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.G.A.1: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.
    • Alignment: The architectural drawing exercises require students to work with scale drawings, enhancing their understanding of geometry and proportion.
    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.G.A.4: Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.
    • Alignment: Students analyze spatial relationships and transformations while creating and comparing architectural forms.
