City by Design

Students in grades 1-3 become a city planner for the day and design their own model city.

Consider the problems a city can have and offer solutions as you work together to design and plan your own community. Participants use their imaginations to design and construct model buildings for the city using colorful supplies and recycled materials. 

Your participant ticket includes access to all of the National Building Museum’s exhibitions. Additional exhibit tickets must be purchased separately. (Ticket sales end at midnight the night before.)
