About the event
STEM Xposure Architectural Camp emphasizes community engagement, with students developing design solutions tailored to local challenges. By the end of each camp, participants will have a deeper grasp of how they can contribute positively to the design and construction landscape in their communities, while also gaining insights into the roles and skills of architects and designers. The overarching aim is to guide students towards STEM careers, potentially within the construction industry as architects, engineers, skilled tradespeople, or general contractors.
Going through the program, you will learn about architecture, but most importantly you will understand the same 10 steps to design and build a house are the same 10 steps you will take to build your life.
The students in the program learn about all things related to science, technology, engineering and math. However, they also learn about sale strategies, business plans and pitching, they take field trips to local businesses, get mentored and more. The program also focuses on teaching students how STEM impacts the beauty industry.
