The Build-U Creative Construction Workshop is a unique Project-Based Learning experience that encourages students to build challenging structures from scratch.  


Here we are not afraid of the unknown, the uncomfortable or failures because we know what all these are essential to strengthen our creative process.  


Connected to others and the world around you, you will have the opportunity to expand your innate creativity, explore and experiment with real building challenges.

"Children allow me to let go more, without fear of being judged, of feeling vulnerable. Just like when you sometimes see your child self in another child. They gave me space to make mistakes and try new things, and made me see even more that each child is unique."
