Thanks for joining us for the CREATE Mentoring Awards 2020 Celebration!
The CREATE Mentoring Program exists to educate and inspire high school students to pursue
career pathways which create the built environment.
During the 2020 CREATE Mentoring Virtual Project, high schools worked in teams of two or more students to design, engineer, and construct a physical model of a new building or a substantial remodel of a current building for a nonprofit within their community. The project was completed remotely, in the classroom, or as an after school (club) activity.

Deliverable 1 (Due September 25, 2020) Submit Here
Upload Team Name, Team Roster, and Team Member Resumes (one resume for each student on team). (These will be cross checked with Student Registration). As a team, identify the nonprofit, their location, their mission, and why you chose them. (250-500 words) Complete a client needs assessment/identify the nonprofit’s needs for a new or remodeled facility. This information can be gathered from their website or a phone/email interview if someone from their agency has the time and ability to speak with you. This may also be from personal experience if you have been involved with the organization before. One should be submitted per team. (250-500 words) |

Deliverable 2 (Due October 23, 2020) Submit Here Architectural Narrative: As a team, describe the architectural design of the organization’s current building and that of the surrounding area. This may be discovered using Google or Bing Maps Street View if you are not able to complete a visit of the location. Are certain design elements required of any new construction in order to compliment the surrounding buildings? Please submit at least two photos with your narrative. (100-250 words) As a team, upload your design documents (in .pdf or .jpg format). These design documents should be of 1) your designed new schematic floor plan of the entire building, 2) either an exterior elevation of the building OR an interior elevation of one room, and 3) one cut section of the building (determined by you). Design documents can be completed by hand, but preferred to be done using SketchUp, Bluebeam, Revit Basics, or other design programs. Links to tutorials on these programs are linked above. As a team, upload your schematic-level engineering plans (in .pdf or .jpg format) for one level (if your building is multi-level) for a system of your choosing. This could be mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or structural plans. Plans should show primary components that would typically be shown at a schematic level. For example, HVAC plans would show primary duct locations, structural plans would show primary structural members (beams and columns), etc. Each student is to complete the engineering Scavenger Hunt Quiz HERE and access the Student Online Planroom (login information will be provided after completing the Student Registration Form). For how to navigate the Student Online Planroom, follow this step-by-step process HERE. Students may work together but each student will submit their own answers to the scavenger hunt. See the tutorial below for help with the quiz. |
