Learn More About Us

At arKIDect,

we use architecture as a tool to teach children far more than design.

At arKIDect, every project brings together essential life skills problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and adaptability with core subjects such as art, math, science, social studies, technology, and ecology.

Through hands-on, creative activities, students learn to plan, measure, build, and present their ideas while developing critical thinking, cultural appreciation, and ethical awareness.

We believe learning should be engaging, practical, and connected to the real world helping children not only design imaginative spaces, but also gain the confidence and skills to thrive in life.

Education through play!

By infusing play into learning experiences

children remain actively curious and motivated, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts.

Playful activities promote cognitive development by encouraging problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity in a fun way. Furthermore, these experiences promote social engagement, assisting children in developing communication and teamwork abilities.

What our parents say?

This is the BEST class ever!! Gokce is absolutely amazing. I have an 8.5-year-old who is obsessed with architecture. I have been trying to find a class that would be engaging and expands his knowledge on the subject he loves. My son is always glowing after the class and so proud of what he learned. Gokce and amazing to work with. She is so thoughtful and organized. She keeps parents connected to what the kids are learning. My son is doing the one-on-one class online and he LOVES it, it's the best part of his week. We have done just about every kids class out there, and this is by far the best thing I've discovered. I could not be happier with ArKiDect. I'd give Gokce and this class 100 stars if I could 🙂
Tracey Turner
Parent
I am very grateful for Gokce! In her group classes the kids meet once a week to complete a final project presented at the end of the month. She is very sweet and caring and jumps at the kids requests! Very knowledgeable and is able to teach in a way the kids will understand and retain. My daughter’s projects have came out perfect! Thank you
Valentina Garcia

"Our daughter has been taking private architecture classes with Gokce for two months. She has loved every minute!  Each project is thoughtfully designed to spark both interest and creativity.  Our daughter has learned far more than we ever expected — the class incorporates not only STEAM principles (from working out measurements for floor plans, to understanding the principles of elevation, to design elements) but also touches on energy consumption and sustainability.  Gokce is also so warm, responsive, and encouraging, tailoring classes to meet the abilities and investments of the student.  Her class has been one of the true highlights of our homeschooling experience this year."

"My daughter has been working with Ms. Gokce for a month. She truly enjoyed the class and she learned a lot in such a short time. Ms. Gokce took the time to explain concepts to my daughter that were new to her. She gives weekly assignments and consistently follows them. We are so happy we found her!"
Lara Lei
Parent
My daughter loves building and architecture, and we’ve tried many programs — but Gokce’s class stands far above the rest. She has a special way with children: calm, patient, and truly inspiring. Her curriculum is thoughtful and very creative. Kids learn real architectural concepts through hands-on projects, stories, and playful activities. Because of her professional background, she brings a level of depth and quality you don’t find elsewhere. My daughter comes home excited, confident, and eager to show what she built. This class is exceptional, and I recommend it to any family looking for something truly enriching.

This is my 7 year old son's third academic year with GOKCE. I casually googled and contacted her and that is the best decision I took for my son. He enjoys every single session he attends and literally waits for the next class. Gocke gives a lot of opportunity to my son's creative thoughts. She knows him very well and customized the classes as per his interests. Being a real life Architect, She is not only knowledgeable but also patient, spontaneous and very agile with her teaching. She is one of the passionate educators and a great person I rarely come across. A lot of great projects and learning for my son and me 😃. Look forward for many more coming.

Our daughter looks forward to going to her time with Gokce every week. I am amazed by the way Gokce has introduced architecture to her that she is excited about. I have seen her progress and I am in awe that at 10 she is learning the importance of details and out the box thinking. I can't say thank you enough to Gokce
Paola Huertas
Parent
Awesome classes! Great for kids that want to learn one on one with a professional architecture. My son is loving every class and wanting to know more. He’s excited to go to the classes as he goes once a week on the weekend, there is also online classes if he’s not able to make it on the weekend. Gokce is the best as what she does and is wonderful working with my son and her students. I would highly recommend these classes for anyone interested? I would give 10 stars not five
Alex
Parent
Classes at ArKiDect have been a staple in our homeschool curriculum. My children are engaged during the whole class; don’t even realize they are learning complex, abstract ideas in a hands-on way. Gokce is an extraordinary educator, and my kids absolutely love her. Who knew there would be so much opportunity in architecture for learning across multiple domains.
Dania Beatrice
Parent
Gökçe and the entire Arkidect program has been a huge support in nurturing and enhancing my son’s love for architecture, and all things building. She is patient, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable in her field and is able to teach complex concepts and break them down for a 7 year old to understand and build upon (both figuratively and literally). She has always been professional and we have gained a huge return on our investment in this program - whether online or in person. My son looks forward to Mondays after school with pure excitement. Highly recommend!!
