ACCI is the place where imagination comes to life for metro Atlanta students. The ACCI program, based on Carnegie-Mellon’s Studio for Creative Inquiry model, consists of after-school sessions once a week where the students participate in various activities including in-class design problems, lectures, tours of construction sites and architectural workplaces.  These activities are designed to create a new sensitivity in the students about the environments in which they live, work, and play, while developing their creative skills.

As a result of the program, several graduates have gone on to pursue degrees in the fields of interior design, architecture and engineering. This “hands-on” view of how abstract concepts get transformed into buildings, provide real life experience for students.  In the past, these projects have ranged from sustainable and urban design to commercial and residential design.  If you select to accept the challenge, you will join a team of other students led by practicing industry professionals and university professors.
