Castles & Kingdoms – Medieval Engineering & Design
Enter a world of medieval castles, royalty, and imagination in this hands-on building workshop. Students will design and construct their own castles and fortress features — from towers and gates to hidden rooms and kingdom grounds — while learning how real medieval structures were built and used.
Through guided building challenges, students will test stability, height, and structure as they create strong walls, secure entrances, and detailed interior spaces. Creative prompts and design constraints encourage problem-solving and engineering thinking while still leaving room for imagination. Participants will also share their creations with the group to build presentation confidence. Perfect for young builders who enjoy fantasy, history, and creative construction.
