ACE of the Bluegrass gives high school students a real-world look into careers in architecture, construction, and engineering by connecting them with local professionals who serve as in-class mentors and guest speakers. From site visits and hands-on activities to designing a full mock project in Revit, students experience what it’s really like to work in our industry throughout a full school year—not just learn about it. It’s an inspiring way to open doors and shape the next generation of AEC talent right here in Central Kentucky.

• ACE is always looking for professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction to share their knowledge and experience. If you're interested in learning more or contributing to the future of our industry as a mentor or guest speaker, contact Adam Gillett, Lead Mentor, at adam@integrityarch.com.
