Treehouse Class - VA Kids Group

Treehouse Class - VA Kids Group - 04.01.22 

A fun class that teaches basic design skills!
​In this new class we researched, designed & built a treehouse, learning how to draw plans and elevations to scale like a real Architect, and then turning it into a 3d structure!!! HOW COOL!!!

First, we looked at crazy cool modern treehouses, these are not the one's we had years ago as kids. Like a Mirror Tree House in the forrest, a human Bird-nest, one's that look like the should be on Endor or part of BB-8's body, ones that look like hobbit's live there, or spherical ones, or Thai ones.

BUT you can't learn about treehouses, without mentioning SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON!!! It was the ORIGINAL treehouse and inspired me as a kid, and then adult who wants to build their own treehouse one day!

We learned how to do basic design skills: floor plans, elevations & 3d scale model (all using grid paper). Using our imaginations to really make cool treehouses, things like a huge fish tank, a fireman's pole exit, video game & theater wall, an indoor hammock, ice cream machine, rope bridges, bean bag chairs, etc. 

We researched, designed & built cool treehouses like Jr Architects! 

Reef surprised us all and built his treehouse out of Lego! It was soooo cool. My photo wasn't the greatest, but I can't tell you how proud I was of him! The creativity was inspiring! Watching Grace, Knysna & Saige working together to create whole connective treehouse was awesome too! Everyone did an awesome job!!!

❤️Thanks to all the kids & parents for their support!!!❤️
