FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SPIKE Studio presents Annual High School Summer STEM Academies to Imagine New Ideas for the Stitch, Downtown Atlanta
Midtown Atlanta, GA— SPIKE Studio presents their annual STEM Summer Academies taking place at Georgia Tech June 5-9 and June 12-16, 2023 with Professor Jereme Smith.
SPIKE Studio will prompt high school students to imagine the future of the Stitch which aims to connect midtown with downtown Atlanta. This program, held annually, fosters the opportunity for exposure of high school students to STEM careers in architecture, construction and engineering. The students are given a real-world problem to solve and during the week they learn modeling, drawing, and structural skills to formulate a solution. “The Stich is a decades-long issue. We are excited to see what brave new ideas these young men and women will imagine,” commented SPIKE Studio Chairman Garfield Peart.
SPIKE Studio is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to mentor, educate, and develop creative abilities in youth to promote greater diversity in the architecture, engineering and construction professions. Formerly The Atlanta Center for Creative Inquiry, SPIKE Studio was initiated in 2004 by Oscar “Spike” Harris, FAIA, CEO of Turner Associates/Architects & Planners, Inc., one of Atlanta’s leading architectural firms, and a Carnegie Mellon alumnus and trustee, in partnership with Georgia Institute of Technology and Benjamin E. Mays High School. Oscar “Spike” Harris, was inspired to begin mentoring in creative design due to several influences, including the shockingly low numbers of minorities and women attending college and working professionally in architecture and his experience as an African-American-owned business owner, professional architect and active community member.
There is still space available in the June 12-16 Academy. Visit our website below for more information.
