The High School Design Competition (HSDC) is an annual program welcoming students from all over the state of Georgia.
HSDC features an introductory level for individuals in grades 9 and 10 with no or little architectural background, and advanced level for experienced individuals (or groups) in grades 11 and 12.
The 2018 competition was the biggest to date, with more than 200 submissions from 20 schools. Through HSDC, AIA Atlanta engages high school students in the design process and educates them about the possibilities of careers in architecture and design.
