Where?
The program will offer in-person or online options in the fall of 2023. Pick one to attend regularly, based on your schedule. The program is the same at each location. The program will meet after school, October 23 through March 9, on either a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday at these locations:
Why? To learn about design and construction, to get inspired, and to get opportunities such as internships, scholarships, and professional industry contacts.
How? For in-person, you will meet with your mentors at a university or an industry firm, and you will design together. The online program will require that you have access to a phone or laptop that allows them to use Zoom. If you do not have such a device, we will work to get you access to one. Students will receive a supply kit.
What is the cost? The program is free of charge.
Who are the mentors? The ACE Mentors work in the fields of architecture, construction, and engineering, and they have worked on many exciting area projects. They volunteer because they want to help you learn about their work. All mentors undergo a background screening through ACE Mentor national.
What is the project? With the support of their mentors, ACE students will design and create a construction plan for an emergency shelter pod project, working within certain budget, environmental, and site specifications.
