Here at the San Jose Museum of Art we have offered a teacher workshop on
architecture(with a teacher resource book) and we also offer an architecture
tour for K-12 students. To put together these programs and teaching
materials I used a number of really good resources such as the Architecture
Education Resource Center, in Franklin, MA
 http://www.norfolk-county.com/aerc), the Foundation for Architecture, in
Philadelphia (http://www.whyy.org/aie/aie.html), and the Center for
Understanding the Built Environment, in Kansas
(http://www.webcom.com/~pcj/cube.html). The Chicago Architecture Foundation
also has some great programs for kids as well.

I have a great list of resources that includes books for teachers and for
kids, web sites and other resources that I'll be glad to send to you if
you're interested.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am creating an architecture program for kids age 8-12 for the Aspen
Historical Society.  There is a great deal of Victorian architecture here,
so I want to focus on Queen Anne style, etc.  I also would like the program
to be as hands-on as possible.  Does anyone know of any kids architecture
programs or other resources that might be helpful?

Thanks,
Kimi Bensen
