💥 ACE (Architecture, Construction, Engineering) MENTOR PROGRAM is accepting student Applications- Due by 9/19
CE Mentorship aims to mentor high school students (grades 9-12) and enhance their interest and knowledge in architecture, construction, engineering, and trades. This year, we are offering two distinct programs: the Playhouse program and the Community Parks program.
The Playhouse program, a staple of ACE, covers the general aspects of careers in Architecture, Construction, and Engineering with a focus on building design and construction. Students will design and build a playhouse and a 1,500 square foot house based on their playhouse design. This program will be held on Thursdays.
The Community Parks program, introduced a few years ago, focuses on careers in Civil Engineering, Planning, and Landscape Architecture. Students will design and present a new park and design and build site furniture. This program will be held on Tuesdays.
Upon completing the application, students will be asked to request their preferred team. They should specify whether they prefer the Community Parks program or the Playhouse program. Additionally, students should indicate their shoe size (men's, women's, or kid's) and shirt size (unisex) in the same request. Example: "Community Parks, Shoe: 8 women, Shirt: M". If you have completed you application please send us an email letting us know your team request and shoe/shirt sizes.
Please note, if you plan to participate in an extracurricular activity that will result in frequent absences, we ask that you reconsider applying. Given the limited space, we want to prioritize students who can attend the majority of the classes.
There will be a student open house on September 12th where we will go over the program overview and answer questions. If you have questions or concerns in the meantime, please email RochesterNY@acementor.org.
