About this workshop
This is an on-site workshop delivered by our experienced Learning Team.
Challenge your class to design London’s future skyline!
Taking on the role of architects, pupils will visit Tower Bridge's high-level Walkways to critically analyse the current London skyline before designing new landmarks using professional 3D design software, SketchUp.
Pupils will also be introduced to 3D printing and a 3D printed version of their design will be posted to them following the session, so you can recreate your pupils' imagined city in the classroom.
