Thank you to our Alumna Margarita Ku for welcoming our 6th-8th graders to Ratcliff Architects, a firm that specializes in education and healthcare building design, where Margarita now works as an Academic Designer. Attendees learned about the different educational trajectories that can lead to a career in architecture, the different types of roles that exist within a firm, and then they applied their learnings to designing treehouses! Hear from 8th grader, Ta'myah, about her favorite parts of the day and how she can now see herself working in a field like architecture!

Thank you to Live in The Bay on KRON4 for having us on to share more about Future Leaders and Building STEAM Futures--two incredible initiatives involving mentorship, STEAM exposure, and career exploration--made possible by Golden State Warriors Community Foundation, Golden State Warriors and Rakuten! Through these experiences, our youth have learned to take up space in professional settings, ask bold questions, and see themselves in careers they may have never considered before. This year, we are celebrating the 10th season of support from the Warriors, our 7th year of Future Leaders with both Rakuten and the Warriors and the launch of Building STEAM futures with both of these partners!

🚁 Future builders in action! 🚁 West Oakland Middle School students took on real-world construction roles—Architect, Project Manager, Superintendent, and Builder—while designing and building helipads strong enough to support a drone landing! 🏗️🔧 With support from DPR Construction they learned about career paths, salaries, and the teamwork it takes to bring a project to life. Huge thanks to DPR for inspiring the next generation of engineers and builders!
