In the new era, college ideological and political education is confronted with the practical challenge of "being deeply rooted in the mind and heart", and traditional theoretical indoctrination can hardly fully mobilize students' emotional participation and practical experience. This paper systematically discusses the internal logic and practical path of collaborative education between red building model making and ideological and political education. By analyzing the intermediary function of solid model making in the dual goals of "skill teaching" and "value guidance", a three-stage progressive education model of "red cognition ·casting soul · craftsmanship practice · strengthening skills · value internalization · establishing heart" is constructed. The study puts forward four implementation paths: curriculum-embedded teaching, theme-driven practice, project-based inquiry learning, and exhibition-competition boosted transformation. Based on the reality of Nanyang Normal University, a collaborative education program with local characteristics is formed, providing theoretical support and practical reference for the in-depth integration of ideological and political education in courses and professional practice in colleges and universities.
