Find out more about how to run Build Your Own Pavilion in your own classroom by attending a free TeachMeet, taking place in selected partner venues across the UK in the autumn term 2017.

Build Your Own Pavilion is the Serpentine’s national campaign to support young architects aged 8-16 to design public spaces for the cities of the future. Open to teachers and teaching assistants who are interested in art, design and architecture, the TeachMeets provide a practical framework for you to deliver Build Your Own Pavilion in your own classrooms, either as a one-off session or over several weeks.

Led by design-engineer educators Kidesign, these informal CPD sessions will cover researching your neighbourhood through collaborative mapping, architectural drawing and hands-on model making. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions about how to inspire your young architects and find out more about teaching next generation design technologies such as CAD and 3D printing.
