2022-07-06 09:45 - 2022-07-08 15:30 UTC | Virtual Design Studio on Zoom
Our annual summer camp empowers young people to affect change in their community through design. By connecting young people to real-world architects and planners, we help foster the next generation of design professionals, civic leaders, and changemakers while advocating for increased inclusiveness, diversity, fellowship, equity, and excellence in design throughout Metro Atlanta. Pipeline students are asked to think creatively about the spaces around them and are allowed to investigate how they can best influence those spaces. Each day consists of various hands-on activities and learning sessions designed to encourage students to synthesize and interpret new information as they develop a new building for their city to engage with. By the end of camp, Pipeline students would have created the structure that would fit within their city blocks for a better city and designed a community that reflects their academic, cultural, and design interests!
