AIA K-12 Pathway Initiatives

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 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 Film Challenge videos.
• nourish curiosity to engage in solving grand challenges with design thinking through career exploration programs, information and resources.
• connect students with architects through local chapters, social media, and videos to demonstrate what a day in the life of an architect may be like.
