STIIX Architecture Project

Design the Skyline: STIIX Architecture Project

With the STIIX Architecture Project, students bring their architectural ideas to life using STIIX modular kits. They model real-world buildings and infrastructure, applying engineering principles like load, balance, and design thinking—all while collaborating on team-based challenges that reflect real architectural workflows.

The Architecture Project is more than a build — it’s a bridge to careers. As students design towers, bridges, and buildings, they develop spatial reasoning, iterative thinking, and project planning skills. The project aligns with NGSS engineering standards and integrates with the STIIX-Ville AR app, where learners explore career pathways as architects and civil engineers.

At its core, the Architecture Project isn’t just about building—it’s about thinking like a real architect: solving for space, stability, and community value. It develops spatial reasoning, systems thinking, and collaborative problem-solving as students bring STIIX-Ville to life, one building at a time.

Build the Future, One Structure at a Time

Through scaffolded lesson plans, build guides, and instructional videos, teachers can launch the STIIX Architecture Project with confidence — even if they don’t have a background in architecture. The modular components are durable and reusable, making them perfect for repeated student cycles and classroom makerspaces. As students test their structures, reflect on design choices, and revise, they experience a genuine engineering design cycle.

The Architecture Project also supports differentiated learning: students can follow guided challenges, or take creative license to express their own architectural style. Collaboration is built into the process, mirroring professional teamwork in real engineering firms.

Whether you’re running a STEM lab, an after-school club, or a project-based lesson sequence, this kit offers a powerful, standards-aligned way to engage students in meaningful, high-impact STEM work.

The STIIX Architecture Project gives students a role in urban development, challenging them to design buildings that are not just visually compelling—but structurally sound and cost-effective. Within the fictional town of STIIX-Ville, learners tackle the dual goals of allowed footprint and architectural value, asking themselves: What kind of building best suits this lot? How can I maximize usable space while managing material cost? What trade-offs must I make between height, stability, and aesthetics?

Bring structure and excitement to hands-on learning with STIIX-Ville — your digital hub for project guides, assessments, and student progress tracking.
