LEAD (Learning through Engineering, Architecture and Design)

Salvadori Center: LEAD (Learning through Engineering, Architecture and Design)

LEAD (Learning Through Engineering, Architecture & Design), an exciting 8-week Salvadori school experience, is an excellent introduction to our work. Salvadori educators engage students and teachers in topics ranging from Bridges to Green Design to My Community, all designed to enhance your school’s curricula.  Through selected model-making projects, students explore the real-world applications of abstract academic concepts.

We invite public and private schools (K-12) in New York City to experience LEAD

Each June, the Center sponsors a design challenge for 100 students from Salvadori schools. Participants work in small teams mentored by architects and engineers from New York’s leading firms. Young people brainstorm ideas, design and build their models, and present their work to their peers. We conceive a new challenge every year, from creating futuristic societies to designing an eco-village of tree houses.
