Hello,

Welcome to Arckit Academy.

I’m Damien, Founder and CEO of multi-award winning Arckit, the revolutionary ‘hands-on’ architectural building blocks that are empowering a whole new generation of creative minds. Inspired by real modular building techniques, I developed Arckit as a quick and easy way for anyone to freely design and bring their architectural ideas to life with speed and precision. 

I’ve always believed in the immense educational attributes of Arckit as an ‘open-ended' building platform that ignites creativity through freedom of expression, that builds confidence and invites collaboration. It has also been my long-time opinion that architecture as a multi-disciplinary medium, could offer teachers and students a new method of ‘learning by doing’ approach to education, wholly appropriate for the world we live in today.

So, we decided to develop Arckit Academy, the first ever series of curriculum-based lesson plans which focus through the exciting lens of architecture and with Arckit as the guiding tool.

We recently piloted Arckit Academy over a period of 10 weeks with students from 8 to 13 years. The results were overwhelming positive with parents saying that their child has never before had such a positive educational experience and they now want Arckit Academy in their schools.

We showcased Arckit Academy for the first time at ISTE Education and the response was, once again, beyond all our expectations, with hundreds of educators saying that Arckit Academy is something they have been searching for but could never find, until now.

We’re incredibly excited to finally bring Arckit Academy to your school, makerspace and workshops.

Arckit Academy

Education is undergoing seismic change to catch up with the fast paced world we’re living in today and so too are the tools for teaching new and essential skill sets. Arckit Academy offers a refreshing and sophisticated ‘hands-on & learn by doing’ approach that is unique to anything else available out there and educators are very excited about bringing it into their classrooms, library workshops and makerspaces. 

Arckit Academy encompasses everything from STEAM subjects to architecture and design, the environment and sustainability, scale and measurement, fairness and inclusivity as well as the 5Cs (creativity, collaboration, communication, critical and computational thinking). 

Developed to align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) & C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards (College, Career & Civic Life), Arckit Academy offers schools a whole new and alternative method of teaching which is set to revolutionize education. 

Our lesson plans can be easily adapted for schools and after school workshops globally. If you are interested in Arckit Academy we’d love to hear from you. You can email us at info@arckit.com

Arckit Summer Camp Workshops

We have launched our first ever Arckit Summer Camps and they’ve got off to a great start.

Children from 8 to 13 years have been participating in our week long events and we have been amazed by their enthusiasm, their high engagement and their incredible creative abilities. 

Arckit Workshop is an educational and entertaining experience where children play, socialize and collaborate together while learning an array of important skill sets and unlocking hidden talent.
