Building pros share job skills with Gila River students

Recently ASU’s School of Sustainable Engineering brought together a host of local companies and academic experts to share building and engineering skills with a group of middle school students from Gila River Indian Community. The event was part of the Gila River community’s STEAAAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Agriculture, Architecture and Math) program. 

The event included team members from Phoenix-based Kitchell and other design and construction professionals who shared hands-on activities to teach the students critical thinking skills in both group and individual environments. The intent was to showcase how Native youth can learn about professions in the built environment and inspire them to pursue STEAAAM-related careers.
