Center for Architecture K-12 Programs

Explore architecture and design year-round at the Center for Architecture in Greenwich Village! During the school year, check out our Family Programs, Teen Workshops, and Vacation Programs. In the Summer, check out one of our many Summer Programs.

Family Programs take place one Saturday a month at the Center for Architecture. These two-hour programs introduce families to architecture and design through hands-on art and model building activities, gallery tours, and design challenges.

Teen Workshops take place one Saturday a month. These full day programs are for high school students interested in learning more about the city’s built environment and developing their architectural design skills.

Vacation Programs are offered during mid-winter and spring vacations. These programs give curious kids an opportunity to dive into an architectural topic of interest and test out their own design ideas. Each program explores a different theme through design challenges and building activities.

Summer Programs give students entering grades 3-12 a chance to develop their own architectural designs and models. Summer programs are five days long with each week focusing on a different topic. These programs combine hands-on art and building projects with one-of-a-kind trips to notable buildings, parks, and architectural sites. Activities include drawing, 3-D model making, interior design, city planning, computer design, "green" design projects, and intensive two-week Architectural Design Studios for high school students.

Need-based scholarships are available. For program dates, themes, and registration please visit the website.
