Girls Build! at Hull-House will allow girls and female-identifying youth to explore how the built environment affects social justice at one of Chicago's most historic social justice locations. Registration opens on Monday April 3rd.

About Girls Build!

Girls Build is a unique experiential program designed to engage girls ages 12-15 in exploring the built environment through intentional and rigorous engagement. Participants will explore Chicago’s built environment through hands on learning. They will foster a deep understanding and appreciation for the built environment and the communities that helped shape Chicago. All while receiving hands-on learning and skill-based practice with architecture. This program is particularly focused on providing participants with access to gender affirming learning that engages with women who were, and still are, crucial in shaping the science, technology, engineering, architecture, and construction (STEAM) fields.
