The sky's the limit in Expert Architects! Take a turn being president of an architectural firm tasked with designing and building the city’s next skyscraper. We will learn the history of skyscrapers and create blueprints of our own stylized tall buildings, while considering factors such as the environment, traffic, and surrounding buildings using Google Earth to find the perfect location. We will present our finished three-dimensional models at the end of the week.

Play the role of young entrepreneurs as we start with the germ of an idea for a product or service and take it through the entire entrepreneurial process. Develop prototypes, formulate a business plan, and devise a marketing strategy. Learn concepts such as competition, profits, and branding while designing print ads, acting out commercials, researching real estate locations, and designing storefronts. As young executives, you will conclude the program by pitching your ideas “Shark-Tank” style. Let’s get down to business!
