Thinking of a career in Architecture or just looking for a way to combine your interests in STEM with design work? Take advantage of this amazing opportunity to learn the basics, from conception to the mechanics, with an MIT-trained and multiple award-winning architect. Students will learn the techniques involved in drafting design by hand using instrumentation before moving on to state-of-the-art computer renditions. They will complete a small project that could be added to their portfolio for architecture school admission. Students will also venture out to see Boston’s amazing architectural heritage first-hand. Boston is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world and students will see the best of American design from historic buildings in Beacon Hill and Back Bay to modern
skyscrapers. Boston has it all!
This one-week summer program is designed for teens interested in architecture & design.
