Introduction to 3D Visualization - Grades K &1

No amount of “huffing and puffing” will blow our buildings down! Understanding and visualizing dimension is the cornerstone of engineering, architecture, and building. Students learn principles of construction and use math skills as they experiment with scale and size, symmetry and reflections, staggering vs. stacking. In a hands-on class using LEGO® materials, we’ll build houses with removable roofs, castles with turrets, and towers of strength!
