Who?  High school students from the Greater Boston area who might be interested in architecture, construction, or engineering. Any student grades 9-12 is welcome. Many students come for several years.

What?  A free after-school program to introduce you to architecture, construction, or engineering through a hands-on design project.

When?  One day per week, October through March, after school. You will be asked to choose an afternoon/evening that works for you to meet with your mentors.

Where?  The program plans to offer in-person or online options for the 2024-2025 school year. Pick one to attend regularly, based on your schedule. The program is the same at each location. Our typical  in person meeting locations are in Boston (Fenway Neighborhood and near South Station) and Cambridge (Inman Square and Central Square).:

Why?  To learn about design and construction, to get inspired, and to get opportunities such as internships, scholarships, and professional industry contacts.

How?  For in-person, you will meet with your mentors at a university or an industry firm, and you will design together. The online program will require that you have access to a phone or laptop that allows them to use Zoom. If you do not have such a device, we will work to get you access to one. Students will receive a supply kit.

What is the cost?  The program is free of charge.

Who are the mentors?  The ACE Mentors work in the fields of architecture, construction, and engineering, and they have worked on many exciting area projects. They volunteer because they want to help you learn about their work. All mentors undergo a background screening through ACE Mentor National.
