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 construc- tion 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
