The Design and Build Institute: From Architectural Concept to Construction

High school students – here’s your chance to leave your mark! Create an original design and  learn what it takes from real industry professionals from the world of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction to make it a reality.

If you have an interest in learning about architecture or are a builder at heart, and want a chance to see what it’s like to take your very own design into a reality, then the Design and Build Institute summer camp is for you!

Join Robert Work, the Innovation Center’s Digital Design Manager, in this immersive, hands-on camp. From day one, students will explore what it’s like to be an architect, from conception to reality. The camp will include experiencing a day-in-the-life with architecture professionals from Anderson Mason Dale and a tour of the Innovation Center’s construction site with FCI Construction.

This camp provides a unique opportunity for high school students to get first-hand experience, where they will help design a canopy for the new courtyard at the Innovation Center.

At the end of the camp, students will present a showcase where parents and guests can view the designs and prototypes that students created throughout the week.

Spots are limited so sign up today!
