Last week, architecture associate professor Lee Fithian led the annual Architecture Camp, a hands-on program for high school students. Throughout the week, 24 15-year-olds went on walking tours, learned multiple pieces of software, used the laser cutters, and completed sketching, design, and model building challenges. The week was capped off with a final show for family and friends!
Special thanks to faculty Elizabeth Pober and Lee Fithian for organizing and leading this camp!
