In this maker-based workshop, we take a look at museum architecture, invent an art collection and create our own pocket gallery to showcase it. Students learn to simultaneously be the architect, the artist and the curator of their museum.

Class experience

Wicked Workshop is a maker-based program that introduces youth to architecture through reality-based projects that tackle "wicked" problems like inadequate housing and environmental health. We teach decision-making strategies, complex problem solving, and critical thinking methods recognized as vital 21st century skills necessary to succeed in work, life and citizenship through a straightforward hands-on curriculum based on authentic projects that foster independent thinking, self-directed learning, exploration, iteration and creativity.  
Wicked workshop is taught by Phyllis (Fifi) Henderson.  A mom to two active girls, an architect and an educator, Fifi creates learning experiences opportunities that build self-esteem, independence and critical thinking skills.  As an educator with a PhD in architectural history and theory, she recognized that Design Thinking was being used outside of professional design practice to help resolve issues in multiple industries including business and societal sectors.  Design Thinking is a non-linear, strategy-based process for problem solving that tackles issues through empathy and iterative hands-on making. It was developed by Stanford University’s “d” school for people in business, higher education, the public sector and K-12 education as a process to create real change. As an architect, Fifi practiced this methodology and recognized it as a direct extension of her traditional university architecture school curriculum. After completing her PhD, she decided to scale that learning experience for a younger audience. Working with kids on big problems has been one of the most rewarding aspects of her career and she is continually energized by the ideas, dynamism and joy that kids bring to wicked problems.
For the museum:
a cereal box, chipboard (or 1/4" or 1/8" foam core if your learner is able to use a box cutter with parental supervision)
masking tape or hot glue
scissors
Straight edge (metal if you are using it to cut foam core)
(Note: The museum walls will be strips of cardboard or foam core cut to 3" in height. Parents might want to help younger learners or have your learner measure them themselves, draw a pencil line, then use scissors to cut the lengths from a cereal box. These can be painted white or used as is.)

For paintings/wall art in your museum, anything goes! Some suggestions include:
clippings from a magazine of cool images or patterns (keep it small in height - about 2.5" so it will fit on your walls)
plain paper
patterned cardboard (cereal boxes or cracker boxes are colorful and easy to cut)
markers
colored pencils
gel pens
paint

For "sculpture", anything goes! Be creative and collect 2-3 beautiful objects that are small. Here are some suggestions:
cool screws, washers, metal things
rocks
thumbtacks
tiny seashells
decorative beads
leaves
acorns
pencil shavings

Not required, but nice to have:
Print out our Box Template (we'll demonstrate how to make a simple pedestal)
Print out our Scale Figure Template for People
