Stantec is a proud sponsor of the ACE Mentor Program ABOUT ACE

ACE is a 501(c)3 not-for-proﬁ t organization with a mission to engage, excite, and enlighten high school students to pursue careers in the integrated construction industry through mentoring. ABOUT ACE

ACE is the only program that introduces high school students to the full process of designing and building a project, as well as all facets of the design and construction industry. Since our inception in Washington state in 2001, an estimated 3,000 Puget Sound students have participated in ACE, and we have awarded $864,000 in scholarships.

ACE works! More than 80% of ACE students surveyed agree ACE taught them skills and knowledge such as sustainability, engineering principles, construction cost estimation, and computer-aided design. About 75% of seniors who complete ACE study an A/E/C ﬁ eld at a university or trades program. AND, many ACE alumni are back in Seattle, working for the ﬁ rms that mentored them and now mentoring with ACE themselves!

This year 220 students from 64 area high schools participated in the program. Eleven groups (in Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma) studied every step of the building process, from initial architectural designs to ﬁ nal construction components. They were mentored by 185 of the region's brighest industry professionals from 65 local ﬁ rms. Today we celebrate both our mentor volunteers — thank you! — and our 14 scholarship recipients.

The ACE scholarship program serves several purposes. It covers the cost of the program for all 220 participants (about $250 per student), plus it sponsors special ACE event participation, like the ACE summer camp or national design competition. Most signiﬁ cantly, it awards outstanding seniors who participated in ACE and plan to study an A/E/C ﬁ eld in college. We are pleased to be awarding $100,000 to 14 high school seniors today.

Thank you for joining us for this exciting event!

STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Adam Scott Roosevelt High School University of Washington Structural engineering Years in ACE: 2

FUN FACT: Adam participated in ACE while living in Austin, Texas, before moving to Seattle. There, he received a “Topping Out Award,” recognizing outstanding ACE freshmen and sophomores, for his work organizing a service project for a local homeless advocacy group.

“The most important moment of my childhood was receiving my fi rst bin of Legos. I would constantly build new things, and, to this day, I still return to my Legos to experiment and create. I didn’t realize how infl uential those miniature plastic bricks would be in my future career until I joined ACE in my sophomore year…. ACE was a way for me to explore the different disciplines and fi nd the place where my skills would best suit the job.” STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Camille Lyles Mt. Si High School Virginia Technical Institute Architecture Years in ACE: 2

FUN FACT: Camille is no stranger to college campuses, having participated in EPIC (“Engineering Possibilities In College”) at Cal Poly, and Running Start and the Black Student Union both at Bellevue College.

“Personally I am drawn to the built world as it connects to nature. I ﬁ nd it intriguing when you can design space that reﬂ ects the nature around it, when the buildings blends into its surroundings while also adding to area. The people in the design and construction industries are so important because their work provides for all people and through their work, betters the lives of others.” STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Chloe Duttry¹ Peninsula High School Washington State University Architecture Years in ACE: 2

FUN FACT: Chloe participated on the varsity golf team for all four years of high school, serving as co-captain, and during the summer competed in golf events with the Washington Junior Golf Association.

“I plan to study architecture and work with environmentally driven clients who are interested in Paciﬁ c Northwest modern architecture. I grew up outdoors exploring National Parks as I always convinced my parents to take me to the lodges to view the architecture and materials…. ACE cemented my drive to not only attend college and study architecture, but it gave me foundational skills that I believe will help me in my studies.”

Special Designation: ¹Attended ACE Summer Camp STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Dylan Wei Skyline High School Washington University (St. Louis) Architecture Years in ACE: 2

FUN FACT: Dylan played tennis all four years of high school and served as President of the school Badminton Club, organizing tournaments and tripling its membership.

“One of the things ACE has taught me over the past 2 years is how important presentation skills are in architecture and the related ﬁ elds. Looking back I've always been a shy person and one of the things I'm most proud of from my high school career is my growth in public speaking. This is something I can't want to utilize and improve upon more in a studio setting.” STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Eric Riley Kentlake High School Montana State University Mechanical engineering Years in ACE: 2

FUN FACT: Eric has participated in soccer and swimming on both club teams and at the high school, serving as varsity player, team captain, and in other leadership roles.

“My experience with my ACE mentors has been amazing. … ACE mentors treated me as an equal and respected my ideas and contribution to the group, which gave me insight into how teamwork, collaboration, and communication should function on a professional level. … The opportunities and career overviews that I received from ACE helped me solidify my decision to enter the mechanical engineering ﬁ eld.” STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Handrae Henthorn² Roosevelt High School University of Washington Structural Engineering Years in ACE: 3

FUN FACT: Handrae has been involved with many STEM and career-driven organizations while in high school, including the Technology Student Association, Girls Who Code, and Making Connections – plus she had a summer internship with Miller Hull in 2019.

“Before joining ACE, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in the future. … My favorite class during my freshman year was Intro to Engineering where I learned how to make diagrams and work with circuits. Seeing my enthusiasm for engineering, my teacher encouraged me to join ACE. I am so grateful that I joined because it was thanks to ACE that I discovered what I really wanted to do.”

Special Designation: ²CMIC National Scholarship Recipient STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Jay Beeman¹ ³ Liberty High School Purdue University Mechanical Engineering Years in ACE: 3

FUN FACT: James played the trombone for 6 years, and is in the school band, jazz band, and pit orchestra for school musicals.

“For each of my three years in ACE, I was offered the chance to connect with at least one mentor on both personal and professional levels. Not only did each of them create an environment where I could easily ask questions, but they were able to put me at ease learning about each discipline even though I knew nothing about them. ACE would have had nowhere near the impact on me that it did without my mentors.”

Special Designations: ¹Attended ACE Summer Camp ³ACE Ambassador STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Julian Collins Ingraham High School University of Washington Civil Engineering Years in ACE: 2

FUN FACT: Julian has participated in several high school musicals and in a high-level regional choir, performing at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony. He is even featured on a movie soundtrack!

“One of the most valuable lessons I learned from my ACE experience last year was to doublecheck your work and make sure it is absolutely right before proceeding. A few times, we had confl icting answers from our math, and it turned out one of us had forgotten a zero or a unit, and so the fi nal answer was drastically different…. I think this is an important takeaway that is not only applicable to the engineering fi elds but to many other things in life.”

STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Lily Nordyke³ Inglemoor High School University of Washington Mechanical Engineering Years in ACE: 2

FUN FACT: Lily enjoys soccer, participating as captain and player on a community select soccer team and with her high school team, as well as coaching for a local youth soccer association.

“I am planning on entering the engineering segment of the building industry, speciﬁ cally mechanical engineering. I was drawn to engineering because it complements my strengths in math, science, and design. I love knowing how things work and ﬁ nding unique solutions to problems which ACE and my other extracurriculars have allowed me to do.”

Special Designation: ³ACE Ambassador STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Madison Merwine³ South Kitsap High School University of Oregon Architecture Years in ACE: 4

FUN FACT: Madison attended the Miller Hull Open Studio and the Fallingwater Residency for ACE students, and is currently an intern at Blue Architecture, the only high school-aged intern the ﬁ rm has had.

“I’ve pursued architecture because I truly love it. The more we explore what we love and focus less on what we hate, the more we begin to shape the future of the world. To pursue education is to have enthusiasm for the future, and to create a better world for those who inherit it. I want my own inﬂ uence to be on structures in the world. I want to educate myself on design, form, and sustainability in order to bring more beauty into the world in the form of buildings.” Special Designation: ³ACE Ambassador STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Marcel Ramirez¹ O’Dea High School University of Washington Electrical Engineering Years in ACE: 4

FUN FACT: Marcel has traveled to four continents and last year went on a mission trip to build greenhouses for farmers in Peru, although he says his favorite trip was to Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.

“ACE is the real-life application of building games such as Roblox or Minecraft…. It will be hard for me to enumerate the many valuable lessons I have learned from my time with ACE as there were so many. But one that stood out the most is the conﬁ dence I developed through the course of my 4 years in ACE mentorship…. All of my ACE mentors have pushed me to be a good team player, to be a better contributor member, and just be the best of myself.”

Special Designation: ¹Attended ACE Summer Camp STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Martin Hsu Eastlake High School California Polytechnic State University Architecture Years in ACE: 3

FUN FACT: Martin has an afﬁ nity for Asian culture, taking classes for 8 years at the Seattle Chinese School, learning the martial art of Aikido, and competing in Japanese swordﬁ ghting tournaments with the Bellevue Kendo Club.

“I started my ACE exploration of architecture believing buildings to be the achievement of a single person. I came out learning that it is not a single mind, but the efforts of a large group of many diverse occupations. A building is not so much a monument to individual- ity as it is a testament to the power and might of teamwork.” STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Maxwell Pleskoff Roosevelt High School Washington State University Architecture Years in ACE: 3

FUN FACT: Max’s list of extracurricular activities is long and varied: French Club, Jewish Student Union, a club swim team, jazz band, Varsity Sailing Team, costume design for a school play, DECA… plus ACE!

“The ACE Mentor program has been a phenomenal experience for me…. During all three years, I learned many lessons revolving around teamwork and collaboration. Going to see different ﬁ rms and meeting professionals in all forms of architecture and engineering has been invaluable, as well as the project side of the experience and the opportunity to present.” STUDENTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Olivia Reichert Garﬁ eld High School California Polytechnic State University Architecture Years in ACE: 2

FUN FACT: Olivia enjoys being active, participating on the school track and cross country teams, earning lifeguard certiﬁ cation, and working for a student-run outdoors program that promotes camping, skiing, kayaking, biking, and wilderness education.

“As architects, we have the power to heal or harm communities through design. It’s what makes this profession so important. That is exactly why I want to be an architect. I have always had a personal connection with the appearance of buildings, with various designs carrying the attachment of very strong emotions…. ACE showed me that architecture doesn’t just have to be a vessel for art, but for compassion too.” MENTORS
