Project Start Date <br />(no earlier than July <br />1, 2024) <br />October 2024 <br />Project End Date (no <br />later than June 30, <br />2025) <br />May 2025 <br />Project Goals By participating in the 'W hat is Architecture?' W orkshop Program, students <br />gain valuable insights into the world of architecture. <br />Early Exposure: Introduces students to the field of architecture at a young <br />age. Students are asked to provide their definition of art and are introduced <br />to the concept of public art and how it can transform the built environment. <br />Students are then exposed to prominent works of architecture, locally and <br />internationally, and are led through a discussion of how architecture is <br />influenced by its context. <br />Creative Thinking: Encourages creative and critical thinking through hands- <br />on activities and discussions. Students are asked to tap into their <br />imagination to design a structure or object within the built environment. <br />They are encouraged to think outside of the box. Their capacity for <br />creativity is reinforced when they see their creations 'come to life' via the <br />AI generated renderings. <br />Understanding Possibilities: Helps students understand the diverse career <br />opportunities in architecture and design. This early exposure can ignite <br />interest and inspire future architects and designers. <br />Collaborative Learning: Fosters a collaborative learning environment where <br />students can share ideas and work together. Students work together in <br />small groups to design and create their project. They learn the opportunities <br />and skills of the collaborative design process. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 5641B9CB-273D-4785-AA6D-57F778AAA9EF
