Drafting Dreams educates students Kindergarten through 12th grade on principles of architecture and urban design, through creative design exercises and design curricula. Drafting Dreams is purposed to expose students in grades Kindergarten through 12th to principles of architecture and urban design through creative design exercises and design-oriented curricula.

The mission of Drafting Dreams is to inspire the next generation of design professionals and to increase women and minority interest and participation in design professions. Drafting Dreams seeks to impress upon students, their parents, and their educators the importance of design education. Through design education, students learn the design process that brings about the places they interact with daily. Students are also exposed to decision-making processes that involve the built environment. This exposure will equip them to be able to influence progressive and necessary changes in their built environment as needed as adults.
