Are you a high school student entering grades 10-12 interested in design and architecture? If so, this week-long, immersive architecture workshop may be for you!
The WAM Teen Architecture Workshop is an exciting opportunity to work with professional architects, engineers, and designers from the University of Minnesota at the Weisman Art Museum. Posed as an architectural project, participants will explore, design, and build creative solutions in a professional setting. No specific design experience is necessary, just a keen interest in art, design, engineering, or architecture.
This workshop is from Monday, August 5th through Friday, August 9th, 2019 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. All sessions are held at the Weisman Art Museum on the campus of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
If you have any questions, please email WAM’s Director of Education Jamee Yung at jtyung@umn.edu.
Registration is now closed for this event. Please check back next year for more Teen Architecture Workshop offerings!
