COLLEGIATE ASSISTANT WANTED FOR ACE DESIGN BUILD WORKSHOP

ACE is seeking one to two students who have an interest in design, construction, and community development to assist with this year’s summer program.  The collegiate assistant will fully participate in the summer Workshop as both a team member and teaching assistant.  It is hoped that the selected candidate will help motivate and lead the  team through the design-build process, while also assisting the instructors with organizational or administrative tasks.  The Workshop runs from June 20 through August 10, meeting M-F from 8am – 12pm at Curie Metro High School on the Southwest side of Chicago.  Curie is easily accessible via the CTA Orange line or city buses.

To be eligible for this position, the candidate must have completed at least 1 year of the ACE program and be currently enrolled in a collegiate architecture, construction, or engineering program.   There are no further restrictions.   Architectural or structural design ability, construction experience, familiarity with 2D and 3D drafting programs, and prior leadership experience are highly desirable; however, it is not expected that one candidate possess an expertise in all areas.

Interested students should email resume and cover letter to ACE DESIGN BUILD DIRECTORS at  acementorchicago@gmail.com by Saturday, May 05.  The cover letter, in addition to highlighting past experience, should include current contact information and provide the year/number of the candidate’s former ACE team.  In appreciation for your participation, ACE will provide a one-time college scholarship paid directly to you, for college related expenses such as books and supplies. Award amount is yet to be determined but will not be less than $1,500.

Team 2 + FINAL PRESENTATIONS

Its breaks my little heart to think of the ACE project being done.  (Well that statement didn’t make me sound like I’m from the South did it??)

Most of TEAM 2!

I’m so happy with the people that made it out to the final project presentation for the year.  You all put in a lot of work here in the past few weeks to put this all together, and I think you should all be proud with the way it turned out.  This was also a great opportunity to look at all the other teams, what they’ve been up to for the past few months.  What you’ll learn as you continue moving through these professions, is that you can learn just as much from watching your peers present, and interacting with them, as you will from anything else.  I sure hope everyone was able to take advantage of this!  A special thanks to those who presented the project and expressed some of things you learned throughout the course of ACE.  I’m not really a fan of talking in front of 5 people much less an entire room full of them, so thanks to those who spoke up in public and clearly explained our polished project!

If anyone wants a copy of the Dionysis presentation, here it is!! ACE TEAM 2_FINAL PRESENTATION  Brag to your parents, friends, and keep learning from this project.  The more you explain things and get excited about what you’ve accomplished, the better off you’ll be in the long run, and the more prepared you’ll be when going off to college.

Also a big congratulations to anyone who stuck around and received a scholarship, internship, or position on the design build team!    Everyone on Team 2 wishes you the best of luck, and we sure hope you make us proud out there!  We so enjoyed every one of you this year and really appreciate your hard work.  Good luck out there, and please feel free to contact any of us with any questions, concerns, or problems you have in the future!!!  And now, to wrap up all the sappy goo that just fell out of my mouth, I’ll end the year and where it SHOULD end:

CATS!!!!

Team 2 + Week 18

It’s getting down to the wire team.  While we try not to overload you all with stuff to work on outside of the weekly ACE meeting, it’s pretty crucial to work on putting together your presentation information in whatever free time you may have.  Coordinate with your team members so we can have a cohesive building.  We continue to be in the production phase, so keep on it!

Pretty sweet section if I do say so myself...
