What is Project Pipeline?
Many children, especially those in monority communities, have no exposure to the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry, so they have no idea of the possible career paths the could pursue. This is part of the reason that historically there had been lower representation of minorities in the professional side of the AEC industry.
Project Pipeline is a national initiave of summer camps throughout the US with the pupose of bringing more awareness of Architecure and related designprofessions to historically underserved communities. It brings students in direct contact with members of the Architectural Profession that have faced the same challenges in their career paths.
