In a pilot program with Stantec, weekly lessons include many of the steps and skills that go into designing. They task the kids with conceptualizing and designing a hypothetical new space for their school.
The goal is to introduce the students to architecture, engineering, and construction concepts, how they relate to STEM courses (Science, Technology Engineering, Mathematics), and how they apply in the real world.
Watch the full segment on CBS Miami.
