My Project

1. WHO WE ARE: A hands-on architecture and drafting program where students learn digital skills (AutoCAD, Revit), take certification exams, and actively participate in community service and major competitions (like a Spring Architecture Showcase building scale models of houses/rec centers, and an NFL Stadium competition).

2.

THE NEED: Because our curriculum is heavily project-based, community-driven, and competition-focused, we deplete massive amounts of physical and digital supplies every single year.

3. THE ITEM JUSTIFICATION:

- Tech Accessories (Mice, USB drives, headphones): Essential for software navigation, saving massive CAD files, listening to video tutorials, and taking high-stakes certification exams.

- Drafting Tools (Compasses, traditional drawing gear): Crucial for teaching the fundamentals of manual drafting and architectural design.

- Building & Painting Materials: Needed to construct, paint, and decorate realistic, physical scale models for showcases and stadium competitions.

The goal is to have materials needed in order to produce physical and virtual prototypes for mock clients, giving students hands-on experience as architects.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
