Bridges, Maths & Design Workshop
Architecture Workshops
Architecture Workshops were employed by the Millennium Bridge commision in 1998 to develop a workshop to explain how the suspension footbridge works for KS3 students. From that we developed our most popular workshop Bridges, Maths & Design for KS3+, which easily led to running it for KS2.

Who are Architecture Workshops?
Designed to stimulate imaginations and excite children and teachers alike the Architecture Workshops Hands-On experience is a Focused Practical Task For All Key Stages & Abilities. The workshops focus on simple ideas to amazing affect, using all aspects of STEM pupil's work together to build stunning large scale structures. In many of the workshops we take a history topic as a starting point and using, Design Technology, Maths Literacy, Science and Drama to differing degrees, pupils create large scale reconstructions of famous architectural landmarks that bring curriculum subjects to life. Pupils work individually, in small teams and altogether to build one large structure or many structures depending upon the focus of the chosen workshop. The ideas found in EYFS workshops are developed throughout our repertoire of workshops, from KS 1 & 2 right up to KS 3,4 & 5.
