Girls’ Lego Day
Did you know that only 17% of registered architects are women? We want to change that – starting with our school-aged designers and dreamers!
The Winston-Salem Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, sponsored by ACTIVATE NC, is inviting thirty elementary-aged girls to join local architects for a morning of designing and building. The event is FREE and will give the girls the opportunity to engage with local designers, architects, engineers, and contractors to learn more about architecture and design. Each participant will go home with a new sketchbook, colored pencils, and a small collection of LEGOs.
WHAT: Girls’ LEGO Day
WHO: Open to all elementary-aged girls (30 spots available, please register to reserve a spot)
WHEN: Saturday, September 28th from 9am to noon
WHERE: Art for Art’s Sake Center for the Arts (630 N Liberty St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101)
COST: FREE
DETAILS: Light snacks will be provided.
We are in need of volunteers to assist with this event. If you would be interested in volunteering, please sign up using the button below. Any and all volunteers are welcome – AIA membership is not required!

Shout out to Ricci Builders for an amazing project tour of one of their homes currently under construction. This project utilizes dozens of unique and sustainable building techniques that are second nature to Josh Ricci & his team and will be featured later this fall in the Winston-Salem Parade of Homes. ![]()
