Encouraging Creative Problem-Solving Skills for Students of All Ages by Building Interest in Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Design.

About Us

The Education Foundation for Architecture, Engineering & Design is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on the transformative power of design thinking and architectural-based education and aims to inspire the next generation. We believe that education is vital, and an architectural curriculum engages students holistically, teaching them to think with their entire brain. 

By leveraging the expertise of industry professionals across the area we offer programs, activities, and guest lectures to schools and educational organizations. By working together, we can create more opportunities for students, build awareness of the value of these industries, and help foster a stronger, more vibrant community.
