As AIA San Diego moves forward into the Year of Good Deeds, we’ll be partnering with a number of local architecture and design organizations, including the San Diego Architectural Foundation.  If you are looking for an exciting, education program focused on kids, think BEEP!  BEEP is the Foundations’ Built Environment Education Program which exposes 4th to 8th graders to concepts relating to the design and construction of the built environment; integrating the disciplines of architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture.  AIA San Diego is looking for volunteers who will have the opportunity to help shape the program lessons and teach the program in local classrooms.  If interested, please send an email to AIA San Diego staff at Info@AIASanDiego.org.
