About the event
Join us for an engaging and interactive mentoring event aimed at igniting interest among middle schoolers (6th-9th graders) to showcase the diverse career paths and possibilities within the Architecture & Design industry. We will be bringing together diverse groups of industry professionals, including architects, designers, and industry manufacturers, who will volunteer their time to mentor each group. Each week, the group of kids will engage in learning, exploration, drawing, sketching, and participation in prepared activities aimed at understanding the fundamentals and principles of Architecture and Design. The primary goal is to introduce the children to the concepts of Architecture & Design, emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusion in these fields, while also instilling a sense of pride in preserving history and building communities. Throughout the program, children will dive into hands-on activities that vividly demonstrate the design process. The aim is to ignite excitement for the profession and inspire them with a glimpse of future possibilities.
