Re: Service Learning: HS Architectural Drawing

Dear Jennifer,

I think your idea sounds great! Here are a couple of syllabi from architecture 
courses with a service-learning component (since you asked for other ideas).

From the organization/school that hosts this list:
http://csf.colorado.edu/sl/syllabi/architecture/architecture.html

From Campus Compact:
http://www.compact.org/FMPro?-db=syllabi-shared.fp3&-Max=1&-format=syllabi-index.html&-FindAll
  (this is the entire list of syllabi--you'll see Architecture at the top of 
the list).

I hope this helps! Good luck with your project.

Nina

Dear Service Learning Colleagues,

Our high school offers an architectural drawing course.  The teacher would
like to link the course material with a service oriented project.  If you
have come across successful service learning initiatives that are
inclusive of architectural drawing and non-profit partnerships, we would
greatly appreciate it.  The current idea is to partner with a non-profit
to become a potential client with specifications for a day care / training
space.  The students would draw the designs and make a formal presentation
with a panel, including the non-profit as the client, who would then
select the blue print that best meets their agency's needs.  An additional
piece would be to make a visit to the non-profit agency to see their
current space and study current blue prints.  

Additional and different suggestions are appreciated.
