3D Doodling – Architectural Wonders

Success Zone / Oakland -
2026 Fall

Students become architects and builders as they explore columns, arches, towers, bridges, and landmarks from different places and time periods. Using 3D printing pens, students create flat structural pieces and connect them to form freestanding models. Along the way, they strengthen fine motor skills, spatial reasoning, creativity, and an understanding of how shapes work together to make structures stable.

Week Lesson Title Lesson Description & Objectives
1 3Doodler Building Challenge Students practice tracing lines, filling shapes, and connecting flat pieces with a 3D printing pen and learn how strong edges, reinforced corners, and wide bases help structures stand.
2 Ancient Columns Students trace and assemble columns and learn how columns support buildings and how Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian styles use different details.
3 Roman Archways Students create arches from curved stencils and rectangular supports and learn how arches are used in doorways, bridges, and aqueducts.
4 Aqueduct Bridge Students connect repeated arch pieces to build a short aqueduct or bridge and learn how repetition and evenly spaced supports strengthen a structure.
5 Pyramid Builders Students trace triangular panels and connect them to create a pyramid and learn how triangular faces and a wide base help make stable structures.
6 Castle Construction Students assemble a castle facade or small tower using rectangles, battlements, and arch pieces and learn how walls, towers, gates, and repeated shapes define castle architecture.
7 Pagoda Tower Students stack simple square frames and roof pieces to create a tiered pagoda-inspired tower and learn how repeated levels create height, balance, and rhythm.
8 Geometric Dome Students connect a small set of triangles to create a partial dome and learn how repeated geometric pieces can form a larger three-dimensional shape.
9 World Landmark Mash-up Students combine familiar stencils to design an original landmark featuring at least two architectural elements and learn how architects adapt and combine ideas to make new structures.
10 Design Your Own Landmark Students design and build an original freestanding landmark and learn how architects use purpose, shape, balance, and decorative details to develop a complete structure.
