We have created a four sessions of our 2 week virtual summer camp to engage families from across the country! Each day begins with a Zoom call with a Taliesin West Educator. Approximately an hour long, these Zoom sessions will introduce the days concepts and projects and provide time for questions, guidance, and instruction. Campers will explore architecture, engineering, and history with specially designed activities to work on from home. Every hands-on activity uses basic household items (a supply list will be provided before camp begins).

Week 1
Campers will learn about geometry, engineering, and the concepts of architecture through hands-on experiments. They will also begin to develop their own dream space. Campers will also participate in a virtual, guided 3D tour of Taliesin West.
Week 2
Participants will dive deeper into the realm of architecture, learning about floor plans and scaling. Through our virtual community via Google Classroom, campers will be guided through the design process and end their second week with a scaled floor plan and a virtual 3D model created with a free, easy-to-use virtual building app.
