The Future of Construction
Autodesk
The Future of Construction program exposes K-12 students to career paths into the future of construction and builds their understanding about how the construction industry is leveraging technology to reimagine how we can build more and build better, while having fewer negative impacts on the planet. This program also leads students through the design thinking process as they imagine, design, and create a solution for a real-world problem under the guidance of industry mentors. This program has been implemented in person through a series of field trips across various industry sites, as well as in a virtual format through a series of interactive webinars. A key component is creating a forum for students to share their design ideas with a wider audience. This has been facilitated through online virtual exhibits curated by Boston Children’s Museum and the Design Museum.
