The Pandemic continues to impact the Education and Resource Committee, preventing it from organizing events and outreaches in schools and colleges.

The Education and Resource Committee has evaluated the role of the committee and how this role can be fulfilled while new norms are being defined. As a stopgap, the committee has begun developing a resource that helps push relevant content to the chapter highlighting how our industry is being impacted, with a specific emphasis on Wyoming. The landscape of architectural design is changing. Design forces that shape the spaces architects create are shifting, and the committee has tried to synthesize snippets of this into a resource that can be issued to the chapter.

The Committee is excitedly awaiting the opportunity to get back into classrooms and promote architecture to Wyoming students. The emphasis is still to connect with fourth grade students and to begin reaching college and high school students. The committee seeks to develop a lecture series at community college campuses across the state in the upcoming years, as well as develop an annual high school outreach program.

The committee is excited about the continued efforts to reach Wyoming students and hopes that this effort will return this spring.
