Students in high school will gain experience in a range of design professions, including architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning. Attendees will work closely with both teachers and current college students, who take an active participation in the learning process and engage individual students to teach the foundations of structural and environmental design. Design projects will put participants’ creative problem-solving abilities to the test.

Every day is unique. Students may be working in a studio, on a site tour, sketching on campus, or working on a project. The most of the time, students will be learning design in the studio. Design principles are not a fixed collection of facts and numbers, and conversations may and should go in a variety of ways.

Benefits

The academy is open to high school students of all backgrounds and professional interests.

Three credit hours of a program elective course will be waived, if the student decides to enroll at Ball State for their undergraduate degree

Participants will gain knowledge of the design thinking process used in the professions of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning.
