SUMMARY:Castles & Kingdoms: – Medieval Engineering & Design Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 15\, 2026 12:30pm-4pm ET\nAges 5-12\nEnter 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. \nThrough 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. \n🥪 Lunch & Snacks \nPlease pack: A nut-free lunch\, and a nut-free snack\, A water bottle \nWe’ll have dedicated snack and lunch breaks throughout the day. \nClass starts at 1 PM but Hildreth students can be walked over to Fivesparks by instructors to have lunch at 12:30 PM at Fivesparks.
