Outreach
AIA Bucks County believes it is our responsibility to serve our community, and at the very height of community outreach and AIA’s mission is to reach out to local schools. In our service area, we are fortunate to have some of the best education systems and the brightest students in the state. Our members have given guest presentations at local schools, and design critiques on students projects!
2019 Outreach Event Bridge Design & Mini Golf Design 2019
Holy Ghost prep High School
AIA Bucks County partnered with Holy Ghost prep and their art and engineering classes. The high school students are currently designing a mini golf hole and bridge respectively. Several of our members spent an afternoon with the classes presenting the profession of architecture to them. The students then presented their sketches for their projects and the AIA members held small group critiques. Since the students will not complete their projects until the second semester, AIA Bucks County will meet with them again in the spring.
