Design Like a Girl is open to young people between the ages of 11-14 to learn first-hand about careers from professional women from the architecture, construction, and engineering fields. In each themed workshop, participants will go on a local field trip and come back to the District Architecture Center to design and build a three-dimensional structure. The four workshop dates coincide with DCPS’s no school days on Mondays and Fridays.
The dates of the workshops:
- Friday, October 11, 2024 - Fundamentals of Architecture
- Monday, November 4, 2024 - Engineering and Construction
- Friday, January 17, 2025 - Interior Architecture: Sustainable and Biophilic Design
- Monday, April 7, 2025 - Landscape Architecture
Created in 2015, the goal of the Design Like a Girl Mentor Program is to promote diversity and inclusion within the industry. WAF hopes to open a door that might eventually lead to greater equity and representation in the profession.
Spaces are limited to 12 participants.
Cost for all 4 workshops: $125
Please submit applications by October 1. For an extension, please contact Heidi Sohng, Youth Programs Manager, hsohng@aiadc.com, 202-908-2804
