Building Blocks at the Skyscraper Museum

 

The Skyscraper Museum was founded in 1996 and hosts a variety of programs, focused on architecture and technology of the many buildings that earn the title skyscraper. They have been offering a rotating repertoire of Family Programs in which children engage with an educator to explore the principles of urbanism, architecture, and engineering through hands-on activities. Surrounded by images, film, and models of past, present, and future skyscrapers, children and their guardians are exposed to the changing exhibitions in the gallery.

 

Learn about different materials architects use to construct buildings! After a gallery tour of models of some of the world’s tallest buildings, kids will join in a hands-on exploration, using stacking blocks to construct the sturdiest tower and recreate famous New York skyscrapers!
