SPIKE STUDIO PROGRAMS
Catalyst
THIRD SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH: 10AM-NOON
WHAT IS THE CATALYST PROGRAM?
Igniting Creativity & Inspiration
SPIKE Studio invites middle and high school students to participate in our free Catalyst Program!
In partnership with leading architecture, engineering, construction, development, and creative firms across Atlanta, we offer a dynamic, hands-on opportunity for young people to expand their knowledge of the built environment. Teens have educational fun by engaging professionals from different firms and disciplines during our 2-hour-long monthly program. One Catalyst Program, for example, could focus on architectural design while another Catalyst Program could highlight structural engineering.
Through participation in educational activities developed by firm professionals in collaboration with SPIKE Studio, youths gain insight into important concepts and skills for prospective professions. They’ll pick up some cool swag as mementos from the visit. We’re excited to spark your teen’s creativity, design skills, and career aspirations!
