The UW-Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning offers an opportunity for high school students to experience architecture education through our architecture summer camp, which we have proudly offered for over two decades.
Our Virtual Architecture Summer Camp is ideal for students interested in architecture, design, and 3D design technologies. Students in grades 9-12, including new high school graduates, will learn the basics of architectural design guided by SARUP faculty member Alex Timmer, supported by SARUP graduate students, faculty, and staff.
Students will be presented with situations for which they will design an architectural solution. They’ll learn how to communicate their design ideas through models, drawings, text and verbal presentation. Workshops will teach students how to use digital modeling tools, read architectural drawings, and document their work through 2D representation.
In-Person Visit (Optional)
On the final day of camp, students and families will have an opportunity (this is optional) to visit Milwaukee in person, take in a few architecture tours, and have lunch at the School of Architecture & Urban Planning. We’d love to show you around if you can join us in Milwaukee!
