(science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) education to individuals through the influence of hip hop. I\u2019ve spoken at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=S0AgZZb7nmk\">SXSW<\/a>\u00a0on the topic numerous times and even helped design the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uhhm.org\/\">Universal Hip Hop Museum<\/a><u>,<\/u>\u00a0with input from local students and the Bronx community. Yet last year through my work with Autodesk, I kicked-off one of my proudest collaborations yet: The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hiphoparchitecture.com\/\">Hip Hop Architecture Camps<\/a><u>.<\/u> Targeted toward students who receive free or reduced lunch, the camps are free and open to students ages 10-17 who complete the application process. \u00a0Underserved youth are exposed to architecture, urban planning, 3D design using Autodesk\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinkercad.com\/\">Tinkercad,<\/a>\u00a0and economic development, all through the lens of hip hop culture. Participants are also exposed to a range of industry professionals, as they work alongside architects, urban planners, designers, community activists and hip hop artists while completing camp activities. At the end of each camp, students create\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hiphoparchitecture.com\/hiphoparchitecture-album\/\">music videos and raps<\/a>\u00a0that outline their groups\u2019 designs, while also underscoring issues their communities face, and ideas for how to use architecture and urban planning to solve them. <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hip Hop Architecture Camps\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0al_ghX3cAg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> Many of the camps focus on reimagining an existing neighborhood or infrastructure in the camp location\u2019s community. During a recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=61OX-mGJiN8\">camp in Detroit<\/a>, participants generated schemes in response to the Michigan Department of Transportation\u2019s proposal to remove I-375 and restore it to a surface street. The initial planning of I-375 was highly controversial as it was constructed through the historic African American neighborhood known as Black Bottom. The camp included special guests ranging from former residents of Black Bottom, local hip hop artists, and leadership of the city planning department. <em>\u201cMy experience at The Hip Hop Architecture Camp showed me a variety of ways to help my community, and allowed me to connect with architects who want to see young people grow and design better communities for future generations. I\u2019m now enrolled at the University of Houston as an early high school graduate and I\u2019m having an amazing time learning new things and meeting amazing people as I prepare to start the architecture program this summer. The Hip Hop Architecture Camp helped me discover the impact I can have on my community and I\u2019m looking forward to returning as a volunteer,\u201d said former camp participant Brianna White, 18.<\/em> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3228\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/HHAC-Brianna-White-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"918\" height=\"658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/HHAC-Brianna-White-2.jpg 918w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/HHAC-Brianna-White-2-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\" \/> The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecturalrecord.com\/ext\/resources\/news\/2016\/03-Mar\/AIA-Diversity-Survey\/AIA-Diversity-Architecture-Survey-02.pdf\">reported<\/a>\u00a0that African Americans represent only four percent of American architects.
