Mentorship can be inspiring and life-changing — both for the mentee and mentor. Slingshot Architect Nolan Sullivan serves as a volunteer mentor for the ACE Mentor Program of America, which connects high school students with professionals in the architecture, construction, and engineering fields. “I hope that I am able to spread my passion for architecture with students and excite them about pursuing a career in this field,” Nolan says. Students in the ACE program form teams that emulate an actual design team. Together with their mentors, students work through a mock design project. Recently, Nolan accompanied the student team on a visit to their project site. They documented existing conditions and context. Next, mentors will support the students through the design process. “By sharing our experience and expertise we can help students build the skills and knowledge that will help them succeed in an architecture, construction, or engineering field,” Nolan says. More than 12,000 students have been mentored by 5,000 mentors through ACE, with $37 million in scholarships awarded to students entering the field. Thanks to Nolan and all ACE mentors for inspiring the next generation of professionals and creative visionaries! Whether it’s reimagining public spaces or designing sustainable cities, these students are the future of how we live, work, and play. #SlingshotArchitecture #Slingers #Slingshot #IowaArchitecture #Architecture #AIAIowa #IowaArchitect #AceMentor

Watching the final reviews of architecture students recently really got me thinking. The pressure to be perfect is overwhelming and it's taking a toll on their health and creativity. I believe we need to ease up on this perfectionism. If we allow more room for creativity and learning from mistakes, I think we'd see happier, more resilient students. Let's consider a gentler approach that prepares them for the real world in a supportive way. #ArchitectureEducation #StudentWellbeing #CreativeLearning

The Architects in Schools (AIS) program, a cornerstone initiative by AIA Chicago Foundation Board , just wrapped up another successful cycle, Fall 2024. The program, which brings architecture professionals into classrooms, continues to highlight the importance of fostering #creativity, #problemsolving, and #spatialawareness among young learners. This year we enjoyed the hospitality of Chicago Public Schools Whittier Dual Language Academy and Daniel R Cameron Public School. Huge shout out to Cristian Andres Yugsi Diaz who went over and beyond the call of duty as Lead Mentor at Whittier. Here at design group JEDI Incorporated, we are grateful to be amongst this cohort of individuals and firms who truly invest in shaping young minds for tomorrow. The Mission of AIS AIS serves as a bridge between the architectural community and the educational sphere, aiming to inspire students by teaching them about the built environment. It’s not just about architecture; it’s about #empoweringstudents to think critically about #design, #sustainability, and the spaces they inhabit daily. Key Highlights from This Year’s Program Engagement: Architects collaborated with educators to deliver hands-on lessons in design and planning, emphasizing the relevance of architecture to community and individual well-being. Creativity in Action: Students worked on design projects, learning about the fundamentals of architecture while solving real-world problems. ? Impact: Participants gained insights into architecture as a career and how design shapes the world around us, sparking interest in STEAM (#Science, #Technology, #Engineering, #Arts, and #Math) fields. The Value of the Program For architects, AIS is more than an outreach program—it’s a chance to give back and share the values of their profession. For students, it’s an opportunity to see how they can influence their communities and explore pathways in design and architecture. Looking Ahead As the program concludes, its success underscores the importance of such initiatives in shaping future generations of thinkers and doers. It’s a reminder that architecture isn't just about buildings—it's about people, ideas, and the future.
