Summer Opportunities
I-NOMA Project Pipeline summer camp
Does your child want to expand upon their interest in technology and construction?
I-NOMA (Illinois Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects) hosts a camp where students are guided through professional architectural processes and give students the opportunity to design projects.
There is a fee, however, our District has been lucky enough to be awarded with free scholarships to this camp.
