What is AIM?
AIM is..
Architects In The Making is AIA Miami’s youth educational program supported by local volunteer leading architects.
AIM inspires and shapes the next generation of architects and designers. Hosted at the University of Miami School of Architecture, AIM provides a hands-on summer camp for 8 – 16 year old’s.
Kids get to interact with architects, learn about the fundamentals of design, have fun building projects, and model them in software like SketchUp and Minecraft.
Our commitment is to inspire the next generation of architects and designers!

BAM in Action!
Black Architects in the Making (BAM) continues to seek out schools and reach students (and parents) in communities where the profession of architecture is not well known. Our first visit this year was at University Preparatory Academy in West Palm Beach.
We deployed a new workshop and it was very well received. As usual, thanks to MCAD, AIA Miami, and MCHarry Associates for encouraging and supporting the program.
Congratulations BAM!

What are the AIA membership requirements for continuing education?
AIA Architect and International Associate members are required to complete 18 learning units (LUs) of continuing education every year. Of those 18 LUs, at least 12 must be for approved health, safety, and welfare (HSW) courses. Architect Emeritus members are required to complete one (1) LU each membership year. Associate and Allied members do not have a continuing education requirement.
New members are not required to complete the AIA continuing education requirement until their first full year as a member. For example, someone who joins in June will not be required to complete 18 LUs until the following year.

Earn your Architecture License!
To practice architecture in the United States, you must earn a license from the regulatory board in the jurisdiction where you want to practice. Each of the 55 U.S. states and territories, or jurisdictions, sets their own requirements for licensure in that jurisdiction, but they all include three core components: education, experience, and examination.
NCARB recommends and encourages national standards for these three areas, which many licensing boards choose to adopt—although others set their own unique qualifications.
