This year we will still be hosting a shortened program with some sessions for high schoolers who are interested in continuing their architecture journey with us.

The I-NOMA Project Pipeline Teen 4-week program will be meeting in person on Saturdays (9:00am-1:00pm) late October through November. Mentor/Volunteer meetings take place virtually on Wednesdays (from 6:00pm-7:00pm). Mentors will work collaboratively to provide a successful program for the students. This includes curriculum design, teaching, mentoring, logistics coordination, design assistance, communication, etc. We also mentor, network and connect with each other, in order to build each other up, improve our communities and advance our careers.

This year, the location of each session will change, and be typically hosted at different architecture firms, so students will get to see different work environments each week. We are still finalizing the locations, but they will generally be in the city of Chicago and readily accessible.

As usual, lunch will be provided.
