This innovative course will guide young students into the workshop of professional interior designers, focusing on their primary tool – the free version of the 3D software SketchUp. Through a practical and experiential approach, learners will acquire comprehensive knowledge and be trained in the skills necessary for planning, constructing, and designing single-story projects.

In the first part of the course, students will acquire the theoretical foundation required to understand the designer's work and various processes in the field – from outlining, space division and organization, through material selection and furniture placement, to understanding concepts such as ergonomics, proper spatial flow, and client needs.

Subsequently, students will practice in a virtual environment, constructing 3D structures themselves while being exposed to a variety of raw materials that compose a house – from wall coverings, doors, bathrooms, to textiles. They will learn to integrate different materials into the designed space while maintaining design uniformity and coherence. Finally, in the concluding phase, learners will experience producing static and dynamic visual renderings of the designed project for presentation purposes.

* The course material will be tailored to the age of the learners.
