The Architecture Learning Network (ALN) provides opportunities for youth to become interested in the many pathways into the professions of architecture, engineering, construction management, urban design, planning, advocacy, and conservation.

Students build literacy in the built environment and learn how to be active in their communities.

Our programs facilitate learning about the design process, historic preservation, sustainability, and digital technology.

Opportunities around the Pittsburgh region provide pathways into the study of architecture and the related professions as well as exposure to professional practice and practical hands-on experience.

See our list of programs under our Find A Program page.


I’ve always had an interest in building and planning structures for cities, and I got to learn so much in a fun way. I can’t wait for next season!
