AIA K-12 Pathway Initiatives
Engaging architecture’s next generation
How do you build a better world?
How can your creativity improve your community?
What does it take to bring bold ideas to life?
These are just a few of the questions K-12 students can explore as they consider how an architect and design professionals can impact the world.
AIA's K-12 initiatives follow a blueprint with three key goals in mind:
- inspire youth to learn about the power of design through free activities and AIA Future Focused videos.
- nourish curiosity to engage in solving grand challenges with design thinking through career exploration programs, information and resources.
- connect students with architects and design professionals through local chapters, social media, and videos to demonstrate what a day in their life may be like.
