SAN FRANCISCO, June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — In a bold move to inspire the next generation of designers from underrepresented communities, the Urban Arts Collective, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing diversity in S.T.E.A.M. fields (science, technology, engineering, art, and math), has partnered with Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a leading software company for creators, to launch Hip Hop Architecture Camps across the U.S. The initiative will take place in major cities such as Los Angeles, Austin, Texas, Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, and New York City. More locations are expected to be added soon, including an after-school program in the San Francisco Bay Area. These free camps are open to middle and high school students aged 10 to 17, with admission based on a competitive application process. One of the highlights of the camp is the involvement of hip hop pioneers like Roxanne Shante, who used Autodesk’s Tinkercad platform to inspire young participants. The camps aim to bridge the gap between culture and design by introducing students to architecture, urban planning, and creative community development through the lens of hip hop. Daniel Guillory, head of diversity and inclusion at Autodesk, emphasized the importance of such programs: “We support initiatives like the Hip Hop Architecture Camps because they create opportunities, access, and empowerment for future designers. This not only benefits the individuals involved but also enriches the entire design industry.” The summer 2017 series kicked off in Los Angeles today, with additional sessions running through August. Each camp lasts one week and includes hands-on activities where students work alongside architects, planners, artists, and activists to design digital models using Autodesk’s tools. The program culminates in the creation of a Hip Hop Architecture track and music video that showcases the students’ visions—similar to a recent project from Madison, Wisconsin. According to a CareerBuilder study, 21% of employers feel academic institutions aren’t preparing students for the roles they need. Meanwhile, only 4% of architects in the U.S. are African American. To address these gaps, the Urban Arts Collective uses hip hop as a powerful tool to engage youth in S.T.E.A.M. disciplines. Michael Ford, known as “The Hip Hop Architect” and co-founder of the Urban Arts Collective, is also working on the Universal Hip Hop Museum, which is helping sponsor the camps. Kurtis Blow, another hip hop pioneer and museum co-founder, praised the initiative: “These camps give kids a chance to think critically about their communities and explore potential careers in design. We’re giving a voice to those who have been unheard.” Students interested in joining must submit a short essay as part of their application.
