This is an Art and Design CPD event for Teachers working in Primary and Secondary Schools in Hull and East Yorkshire. Teachers will be trained to deliver the Build Your Own Pavilion project in class, as well as trying out hands on, practical activities to engage and inspire children in further design and architecture projects.

About the Project:

Build Your Own Pavilion is a nationwide campaign to celebrate architecture and encourage young architects everywhere to design public spaces for the cities of the future. Inspired by the Serpentine Pavilion, the Serpentine’s annual commission of temporary buildings by world-famous architects, Build Your Own Pavilion invites young people aged 8-16 to consider the relationship between architecture and public space and to design the architecture for the cities they would like to live in.

Led by the design-engineer educator team at Kidesign, the TeachMeet will provide a practical framework for to deliver independent Build Your Own Pavilion workshops in the classroom, either as a one-off session or over several weeks. Covering researching your neighbourhood and defining a brief, architectural drawing and hands-on model making, there will also be the opportunity to ask questions about how to inspire your young architects and find out more about teaching next generation design technologies such as CAD and 3D printing.
