Students will learn how to create an architectural scale model using our Tiny Home kit, hand drafting, and 2D/3D design software.
Students will see their designs come to life through the entire design process, learning how to sketch and draft floor plans, and seeing how they relate to a full-scale building. They will also tackle interior design using 2D design software to finalize their floor plans and 3D design software to design custom furniture before 3D printing it and assembling the tiny homes of their dreams.
