K-12 Architecture Week Inspires the Next Generation of Designers
The Architecture Resource Center, AIA Connecticut, and the Connecticut Architecture Foundation proudly hosted this year’s K-12 Architecture Week, an engaging and interactive initiative designed to spark curiosity and introduce young learners to the world of architecture, design, and sustainability. This year’s program featured two hands-on workshops tailored for children ages 8–12, focusing on the fundamentals of sustainable design through the construction of solar-powered model houses. The events took place on April 14th at the Eli Whitney Museum & Workshop and on April 16th at the New Haven Free Public Library, where eager participants explored how architecture can positively impact both communities and the environment.
