Designing My Future: AD EX Summer Camp for Ages 10 to 13

Join us for a two-day camp developed by practicing architects in partnership with K-12 and nonprofit educators, hosted by the Architecture and Design Exchange and AIA Dallas Education Outreach Committee. Students will delve into career paths in architecture, design, and engineering, while also learning how design can empower them to improve their communities and advocate for a more functional, beautiful, and equitable city. Expect hands-on activities, inspiring guest speakers, architecture firm visits, and much more!

Attended one of our workshops in the past? Activities rotate so that students don't repeat projects.

NOTE: This is not an overnight camp. Sessions run over two days from 9 AM to 3 PM.

$100 per student – Materials, breakfast, lunch, and snacks included

Friends of AD EX receive 20% off with code - Anyone can join!
