See you in 2025! •
The SFNOMA Project Pipeline Summer Camp is an excellent opportunity for middle school students (age 11-14) to learn STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Architecture and Math) skills. This workshop is part of a national initiative by over twenty NOMA chapters across the country called Project Pipeline - the mission is to help diversify the architecture and planning professions by focusing on providing youth from underrepresented cultures interested in architecture and community planning into the career "pipeline" at the early stages of development.
The camp is designed to expose youth to the built environment, architecture fundamentals, and the profession. Students collaboratively address community-focused issues through creativity and design innovation with a real project site, while learning about sketching, diagramming, technical drawing, model making, and more. The curriculum was created to equip, empower and educate youth through architectural design and engineering techniques.

“The Project Pipeline Summer Camp is really many student’s first introduction to architecture and design. During our week-long camp, students have the opportunity to learn about technical drawing, project sites, how to design for people, model making, and presentation skills. Students that participate in the camps work closely with architects and designers to create the designs they would like to see in their communities. Not only do students create designs, but they are also connected with mentors in the architecture field to help guide their interests.”
