Overview
The Alberti Program: Architecture for Young People at the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts is a day camp for young scholars in grades 4-8 to gain exposure to architecture and sustainable design, and strives to serve as a pipeline for underrepresented groups to go into the fields of architecture and design.
The Evaluation Center is partnering with the Office for Socially Engaged Practice to support the design and data analysis of a survey of Alberti alumni. We will also support the data analysis of existing survey data. The Alberti Program is looking to tell its story and measure its impact using insight gained from several years of youth participation and survey data, as well as develop new evaluation tools for future use.
