Date/Time: Saturday, June 22, 2pm – Saturday, June 29, 2024, 5pm EDT

From June 22nd until June 29th 2024, junior and senior high school students enrolled in the Design your Future Program will be actively participating in the eight – days combination of fun design projects and competitions organized and guided by our school’s experienced faculty. Students will be exposed to a number of practical and theoretical questions presented as part of guest lecture and workshop series, and will have the opportunity to converse with a number of practicing architects and designers.
Design your Future Program 2024 will be housed in the Center for Architectural Studies at Marywood University. Students will be assigned individual desks and will have the opportunity of using the same spaces as our undergraduate and graduate students. Furthermore, students enrolled in the program will have the opportunity of seeing in action various laboratories and shops (wood / metal / 3D printing / CNC router / laser cutting / etc.). Design your Future Program 2024 is designed with the desire of an immersive experience, engaging students in a number of demonstrations anchored to the Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Construction Management Programs. The program’s principal goal is to reach out to a wide group of high school students. The program considers diversity and inclusivity to be important factors in the establishing of an affordable participation fee of $1,150 (including room & board, program supplies, and day trip bus & venue entrance fares). The program will also offer a number of need-based scholarships.
