ACE’s Missouri affiliates offer local high school young people an exciting opportunity to discover the potential rewards available to them through careers in architecture, engineering and construction.
Working under the mentorship of experienced professionals from local firms, students engage in a program that combines field trips to construction sites, universities, professional offices and related locations with “hands-on” projects that simulate actual situations. The result is a practical way for young people to experience the real world of those who re-fashion imagined concepts into constructed buildings.
In addition, these affiliates offer various kinds of financial assistance to those who decide to pursue a post-high-school course of study leading to a career in the building industry.
A+DEN is a program of the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the American
Architectural Foundation, and the American Institute of Architects
