Charlotte
About Us
Founded in 2007, the ACE Mentor Program of Charlotte is an after-school program for high school young people interested in exploring career opportunities in architecture, construction and engineering.
Our program is currently serving over 100 students with teams at the following high schools: West Charlotte , South Mecklenburg , East Mecklenburg, Philip O'Berry, Hopewell and Myers Park. Through office tours, hands-on activities and field trips, the program introduces students to the industry’s various disciplines. Under the mentorship of over sixty local industry professionals, students work in teams on projects that simulate “real-life” situations.
Our Projects
Last year our teams competed at the Spring Banquet to present their concepts for redesigning a portion of land previously occupied by the Eastland Mall. You can view our media coverage from the initial site visit on the sidebar. This year, our students will be designing projects alongside other ACE teams throughout the country. You can download the 2011-2012 RFP here on this page.
