Educational Advisors

During the development of this project, we sought the advice of a team of dedicated teachers representing architecture / architectural drafting programs in the Chicago Public Schools and in suburban Cook County schools.  These career and technical education teachers and administrators helped shape this digital curriculum by providing good counsel and excellent feedback on how they teach the design process as well as how they use online resources in a wide range of classroom settings.
