Alberti Program: Architecture for Young People

The Alberti Program: Architecture for Young People, in partnership with PGAV Destinations, allows St. Louis students grades 4 through 8 to explore architecture and design through hands-on learning. Since 2007, the Alberti Program has brought young people from across the St. Louis region to the Washington University campus for a hands-on experience tackling 2- and 3-dimensional problems in architectural design, with an eye toward the greater environment. They are introduced to the field of architecture through lectures, discussions, and reviews about design projects. They explore campus and connect with WashU graduate and undergraduate students, who serve as teaching assistants.
