LBBA Hosts IIT Boeing Scholars on Second Annual Job Shadow Day
Yesterday, LBBA hosted four high school students for the second annual Job Shadow Day. Organized by the IIT Boeing Scholars Academy, Job Shadow Day is a structured work site experience which helps the IIT Boeing Scholars–a diverse group of high-achieving Chicago-area high school students–identify possible career interests. Serena Brewer (Oak Park & River Forest HS), Layalee Elzahdan (Aqsa School), Adam Glueckert (Lane Tech HS), and Andre Vega (Rowe-Clark Math & Science Academy) each chose to visit LBBA and explore a career in architecture. To experience the profession, LBBA’s Victor Jimenez, Terran Wilson, and Louis Fernandez led the group in an office tour, sketch and model making activities, and an open discussion to answer questions regarding college and an architect’s typical day.
