Architects in Schools Summer Camp
2023-07-24 12:30 - 2023-07-28 13:30
Join us July 24-28, 2023, for our annual Architects in Schools Summer Camp! The virtual camp is free and designed for youth ages 8-12. Register by 5pm PT on July 14 to participate.
CAMP THEME:
This year’s camp theme is Design is Monumental: Celebrating the Untold Stories of our Everyday Heroes. Monuments have not historically been representative of all communities. We’re here to change that! Camp participants will take on the role of an architect and builder to identify their hero and tell their story through the design of a monument. Students will be introduced to technical architecture practices such as drawing, planning, model making and more, while exploring additional art and design fields that impact our daily lives.
HOW IT WORKS:
The camp is entirely virtual – meaning students can participate from home. To engage in the camp, participants will need a computer, tablet, or other device with access to internet.
Every day, we will email you the digital lesson including hands-on design activities, reading, thinking exercises, and pre-recorded videos. There will also be a live Zoom session every day from 12:30-1:30pm PT. The live sessions are optional but are highly recommended so students can meet practicing architects and designers and fully experience the camp content.
DAILY SCHEDULE:

Work through the Daily Lesson PDF that is emailed to you the evening prior to each day of camp

Join us for a Live Zoom Activity from 12:30-1:30pm PT

SUPPORT THE CAMP:
Participation in the camp is free. We are accepting donations so we can send camp materials to families who have barriers to accessing them. This will allow all children to participate regardless of need.
