Alumni Advisor: Dawn Kopecky
Introduction Many AEC firms are struggling to hire due to a shrinking workforce. In addition, there is a lack of awareness and interest about the AEC field amongst youth. Our group will expand on the work originally completed by the TeacHER group by focusing our efforts on outreaching to younger children in a critical life stage where they are learning to read and developing a better understanding of the world around them. Leveraging the collective power of public libraries as a delivery method for our content is an additional avenue worthy of consideration as they serve as additional educational outlet, community hub, and cultural institution. Our goal is to close the gap in understanding AEC careers for younger children and increase diversity, equity, and inclusion industry wide. Objectives • Expand TeacHER to include a programming and a toolkit for libraries focusing on 2 nd and 3 rd graders. Utilizing the NASA@Your Library framework, we will partner with libraries to pilot our programming and resources which include: o Stakeholder engagement – program stakeholders will increase the quality and quantity of library collaborations used to implement an effective TeacHER AEC program.
