The ACE Mentor Program was founded by the principals of leading design and construction firms, to introduce high school students to career opportunities in the industry.

After several years of experimenting with various mentoring models, ACE was born in New York City in 1994 when seventeen firms banded together into 3 teams, each organized like a typical design and construction team, and “adopted” about 90 students from local high schools. Volunteers from each of the firms, serving as mentors, worked directly with the students to introduce them to the broad range of people and projects within the construction industry.

Students were introduced to the various design professions and the role that each performs in planning, designing and constructing a project. Students also gained first hand insight into the design industry by touring project offices and visiting active construction sites. And students worked closely with their mentors to solve challenging “real world” projects.

In the spring of 1995, ACE held its first fundraiser event, to establish a scholarship program for ACE graduates. Scholarships continue to be awarded on an annual basis to ACE graduates who go on to study in college for a career in the design and construction industry, or who progress through apprenticeship into the building trades. ACE continues to grow—both vertically and laterally. Chapters are “under construction” in cities across the United States, and existing chapters continue to add new mentoring firms to improve the quality of their programs.

The ACE Mentor Program serves high school students who are exploring careers in Architecture, Construction, or Engineering. The mentors are professionals from leading design and construction firms who volunteer their time and energy. The program is designed to engage, inform, and challenge youth.

The mission of the ACE Mentor Program is threefold:

• To enlighten and motivate students towards architecture, construction, engineering, and related careers. • To provide mentoring opportunities for future designers and constructors. • To provide scholarship assistance.

ACE makes a special attempt to reach students that otherwise may not become aware of the challenges and rewards of a career in the design and construction industry. Our interest in the students extends to their eventual successful employment in the design and construction industry. To this end, several other activities are important facets of the program:

• Scholarships for selected graduates of the program over the course of four years if the student continues to progress. • Participating companies are encouraged to hire qualified ACE students for summer jobs. • Mentors are encouraged to form and maintain positive relationships with the students. alumni activities

On October 11, 2014, at the SCI-ARC main auditorium, over 250 Ace Mentees and Mentors gathered once again to kick off the ACE Mentor All Schools Day event. The students, teachers, professionals and 12 brave Lego people did not disappoint the crowd. Our students demonstrated teamwork, leadership, creativity, innovation and craftsmanship while completing this year’s design/ build competition, “The Vue”. Our high school teams were challenged to build a cantilevered viewing platform overlooking the Grand Canyon.

Each team was given 400 Popsicle sticks, various types of pasta, glue sticks and 5 brave Lego men and women. The platforms were a minimum of 36 inches long and 12 inches wide. With the brave Lego people on the platform, a load test was conducted. While no Lego people were injured, the crowd cheered as they watched as President Business loaded each bridge with iron bars to failure.

The students designed and built outstanding structures and the competition was close, resulting in a four way tie for 2nd place between Downtown LA #1, Susan Miller Dorsey, Century and Santa Monica. Our 2014 Strong Bridge award went to Applied Technology Center #2.

The Judges Award went to John Marshall, a second time winner, for a beautifully designed bridge that captured the Judges’ attention for its level of detail and craftsmanship. At the end of the day, a total of 19 platforms were smashed to bits.

A special thank you goes out to SCI-ARC for hosting the event, John A Martin Associates for photography, Swinerton Builders for donating the test equipment, tables and audio systems and to Westfield Corporation for event planning.

Congratulations ACE Mentees on a project well done!
