Workshop
Challenge your class to design London’s future skyline, at Tower Bridge!
Primary
Enjoy a guided tour of Tower Bridge with your class and let your pupils take on the role of architects and structural engineers!
In this workshop, pupils will visit the high-level walkways to critically analyse the current London skyline before designing new landmarks using professional 3D design software, SketchUp.
Pupils will also be introduced to 3D printing and a 3D printed version of their design will be posted to them following the session, so you can recreate your pupils' imagined city in the classroom.
