AFSF seeks systemic change in K-12 public education by invoking the creative power of the design process to engender a culture of curiosity and personal initiative in our students.
Current programs include:
- the annual AFSF High School Design Competition
- our Saturday Design Studio, offering a 6-week online design studio with mentoring during the week
- the AFSF Summer Design Institute (3-week intensive summer program, June & July sessions)
- the Kirby Ward Fitzpatrick prize for the best new building by a small firm.
- …and more to come!

AFSF involves secondary students in a mentored appreciation of architecture, engineering, construction and the design process. Our programs are unique, combining architects, engineers, designers and business leaders with expertise in the practical world of design and development with teachers’ knowledge of their academic discipline and their skills in pedagogy. This combination of professionals allows students to become the artists and creators they were meant to be. It brings meaning and context to their education. |
