High School Programs

CREATE Mentoring Program
The CREATE Mentoring Program exists to educate and inspire high school students to pursue ​career pathways which create the built environment.
​
The semester long program is held on campus where high school students are mentored by industry professionals through a project that simulates a real-world RFP. During the process, students complete a client needs assessment, architectural review, design documents including schematic floor plans and interior and exterior elevations, schematic-level engineering plans, construction site logistic plans, visit active construction sites and explore various careers in the built environment. The program culminates in December with the annual competition and awards banquet.

CREATE Summer Camp
The CREATE Summer Camp is a six-day, five night which introduces students to careers in construction, re-development, engineering, architecture and the trades. Students will design and build a project for a local nonprofit, complete a needs assessment, meet industry executives, tour active job sties, explore Sacramento, and stay on a college campus.

Design Build Competition
Following defined criteria provided by CIEF, each team completes the challenge of designing and preparing construction documents for a 96 square-foot structure — which are submitted for plan review by volunteer community plan-checkers and architectural professionals. This year the construction phase of the competitions will take place over two days in NorCal, SoCal, and North Texas.
