Partnerships
Career Discovery and Diversity programming has expanded its partnerships and collaborations to groups that prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion and also focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning.
As the first and only design group represented in the international STEM competition, ASLA is thrilled to sponsor its Special Award for Design-Centered Solutions with Nature. The Future City Competition attracts over 60,000 middle and high school students annually.
Each year, ASLA members serve as mentors and judges to support students who design authentic and innovative projects that transforms their understanding of the role landscape architects play with engineers to strengthen their teamwork, problem-solving, and project management skills.
