Autodesk has been a proud sponsor of this innovative organization, Hip Hop Architecture. This is a great organization helping under-represented communities get exposure to architecture, planning, and design.
“Targeted toward students who receive free or reduced lunch, the camps are free and open to students ages 10-17 who complete the application process. Underserved youth are exposed to architecture, urban planning, 3D design using Autodesk Tinkercad, and economic development, all through the lens of hip hop culture. Participants are also exposed to a range of industry professionals, as they work alongside architects, urban planners, designers, community activists and hip hop artists while completing camp activities. At the end of each camp, students create music videos and raps that outline their groups’ designs, while also underscoring issues their communities face, and ideas for how to use architecture and urban planning to solve them.”
I have applied to volunteer at their Portland event.
