Welcome to the Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Classroom
ABOUT
The Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Classroom is a resource center developed by our Education Department as a free online learning tool for K-12 students and virtual engagement for families.
The Virtual Classroom combines fun, real-world lessons with Wright’s famed principles of organic architecture and solutions-based design. Each STEAM-focused activity will offer students hands-on projects that encourage creative and critical thinking.

Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Education Activity Kit
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Education Activity Kit provides a fun way to have Wright-inspired tools and supplies at home for the K-12 Virtual activities offered here in the Virtual Classroom! It’s a fun care package for all of us who love Frank Lloyd Wright, architecture, and design. The kit includes: two books, Who Built That? Modern Houses and Taliesin West Desert Laboratory Guidebook; a 24-pack of colored pencils with sharpener; a handy Alumidrafter measuring tool featuring an inspiring Wright quote; decorative origami paper; and two stickers representing iconic landmarks found at Taliesin West: the red “Whirling Arrow” logo, and the dragon, fashioned after the beloved fire-breathing sculpture on the property.
Warning: grown-ups will be tempted to borrow these prized kit supplies too!
