For many students, there’s a moment when something clicks. An idea becomes a sketch, a model, or a structure they can actually hold in their hands. It’s the moment creativity turns into possibility.
This summer, NewSchool of Architecture & Design invites high school students to experience that moment through the Design & Build Summer Intensive—a four-day, hands-on studio experience on campus where creativity, mentorship, and collaboration come together.
Guided by faculty mentors and industry professionals, students will work in our design studios exploring how ideas move from concept to creation. Participants will gain exposure to multiple disciplines, including Architecture, Design, and Construction Management, helping them understand how each field contributes to shaping the built environment.
Throughout the program, students will:
Work in hands-on studio sessions building models and prototypes
Participate in interactive workshops with faculty and industry professionals
Explore architecture, product design, and construction management tracks
Connect with mentors and peers who share an interest in design and building
The program concludes with a final showcase, where students present their work to family and friends, celebrating the ideas and projects they’ve developed over the four-day experience.
Early Registration: April 1 – April 14
To keep the studio experience collaborative and mentorship-focused, space is limited. Families and students are encouraged to submit an inquiry to receive program updates and early access to registration.
