Springboard to Design is a pre-college architecture and design program that introduces high school students to the fundamentals of design thinking, spatial reasoning, and creative problem solving. Students work alongside faculty and peers to complete hands-on projects that mirror the challenges faced by real-world architects and designers. The program is hosted at a university setting, giving participants an authentic glimpse into collegiate academic life and professional design culture. It is an exceptional opportunity for students passionate about architecture, engineering, or the visual arts to build skills and explore potential career paths.
Creating drawings, paintings, or other visual work to express ideas and observations.
Modeling parts and products in 3D software before they're built for real.
