Architects in Schools Volunteer Form  Fall 2022
Architects in Schools (AIS) is an initiative focused on bringing architecture professionals into classrooms to introduce middle school students to the field of architecture and to discuss the broader theme of architecture as a change-maker. Volunteers engage the students in critically analyzing their neighborhood for opportunities to create positive change and utilizing architecture as a means for implementing solutions.

The program is structured as a 8-week long program with 4-6 practicing architect volunteers visiting a single classroom once a week for one class period (1.5-2 hours-schools vary).  Minimum desired commitment for a professional is 3 classroom visits.  The curriculum consists of an introduction to architecture and design, design exercises, a final group project, and a field trip.

This fall we will be teaching in:

Cameron Elementary School, 1234 N. Monticello (Humbolt Park) 
– Wed – 9/28-11/16 – 8:15-10:15

Whittier Dual Language Academy, 1900 W. 23rd St. (Back of the Yards)
 – Tues – 9/20 -11/8 – 8:30-10:30 

Masks are optional in the classroom.
