Chicago Architecture Foundation

The Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) will develop an online design learning lab for students and educators. The learning lab will be built on CAF's award-winning digital learning platform, DiscoverDesign.org, and help beginner students learn skills in design thinking, innovation, critical thinking, technical skills, and hands-on problem solving. CAF will create interactive content to engage students, while widening its network of teachers with new educator tools. This project will scale CAF's learning resources to reach a broader and more diverse youth audience, and support this audience as they develop interests in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) fields, 21st century skills, and design-related career pathways.
