WHAT IS ACE GNY?
ACE GNY is a free after-school mentorship program for high school students to learn about careers in architecture, engineering, and construction management.
Students join teams led by professional architects, engineers, and construction managers to gain firsthand experience in the design and construction industry.
During sessions, students learn how to use design software, go on office tours and field trips, and participate in fun hands-on activities to learn more about the different career options.
ACE GNY is a full year program, operating from late October through May. During the first half of the year, students learn about each discipline and how they interact to develop projects. Then, the team develops a cohesive mock design project that they present in May.

HOW TO SIGN UP?
ACE GNY is free to all high school students. The program is designed for students who are familiar with the disciplines, and those who are not.
We do not require grades, recommendations, or essays - all students are accepted into ACE GNY. We do require a Parent Consent Form to be completed, which can be found on the online application.
Once a student registers, the next step is to select a team. There are in-person or remote team options. We will email students and parents directly about team selection; however, if you would like to help your students select a team, please contact us at the email below and we can send you the list of teams.
