Center for Architecture: Discover Architecture

The program consists of a three-day externship at an architecture office followed by a culminating event at the Center for Architecture. The program will take place during the public school mid-winter break Tuesday, February 18 through Friday, February 21, from 10am–3pm daily. Students accepted into the program will spend Tuesday through Thursday at a local architecture firm gaining valuable, first-hand experience with the work of practicing architects, then have a chance to share their experiences at a concluding event at the Center for Architecture that Friday.

Eligible students must be in their sophomore or junior year of high school. Students must also reside and attend school within the five boroughs of New York City. We are looking for students who are interested in and would most benefit from this opportunity. No prior experience is necessary. Priority will be given to students attending NYC Public Schools.
