Mini Builders

Students become junior architects and engineers as they build their own house or traditional Majlis using concrete blocks. They mix, mold, and assemble their materials, then customize the structure with painted designs and 3D-printed details.

In this interesting STEAM project, students step into the roles of civil engineers to build a scaled model of a house or traditional Majlis using real concrete blocks. The learning begins with material science: students clean and separate sand using simple separation techniques, then mix it with cement and water using a precise ratio. With the help of a pressing mold provided in ProjoTech’s specialized kit (BrickLab), they shape and produce scaled concrete blocks. Once the blocks are dry, they 3D-print customized window or door frames and begin the exciting assembly phase constructing their own house or Majlis. As a final creative step, students decorate their structure using paints inspired by cultural and personal themes. Students explore engineering principles, construction techniques, sustainability, and artistic expression throughout the process. This hands-on project offers an inspiring blend of science, technology, creativity, and cultural relevance building structures and young minds.
