Our girls absolutely crushed the showcase! 💎 I attended purely to support my team, but as a co-founder, I have to take a moment to give credit exactly where it’s due. Our recent showcase was an incredible celebration of what happens when passion meets professional guidance through the @acementorphilly program (Architecture, Construction, Engineering). Our club brought two massive projects to life: 1️⃣ The PASHI Project: While I was away for school, our leadership team and participants independently took over our partnership with @pashi.global . They produced reusable pads for underserved communities and collaborated with @jacobswyper architects to design a floor plan for a new PASHI site. I had no part in executing this—this milestone belongs 100% to their dedication and hard work! 👏 2️⃣ The Hydroponic Garden: This has been my labor of love since last year. Having been heavily involved in the research, design, and planning phases, it was an unforgettable moment to see it officially finalized. The greenhouse and hydroponic system are now completely built through our incredible collaboration with our mentors and @chs_feedingphilly ! 🌿 Thank you so much for watching!

A throwback to when GEMS first revisited ACE's site after school this school year. It was really enriching and exciting for GEMS to get to see the place that aids in the starting of the architectural process. GEMS got a little taste of the first few steps into the architectural world through an on-hand activity. If you are interested in architecture, join GEMS and ACE on Wednesday, March 11th, after school in room 141 to learn more about architecture! We can't wait to see you there!
