Hello Mr. Sanchez, Thanks for speaking with me yesterday. Herein, I have summarized what we discussed and prepared some information for you to help decide if adding some of our curricular units will help you accomplish your goals. Please feel free to share this with your colleagues and contact me with questions. OBJECTIVES:  Address the knowledge gap of incoming juniors to architecture program, with a special focus on math: applied algebra, geometry and trig between Math 2 & 3  Address the skills and context gap of incoming juniors to architecture program, with a special focus on aspects such as elevations, section cuts, estimating, material takeoff and scale  Integrate supplemental curriculum for 9 th and 10 th graders and possibly 11 th TIMELINE: Fall of 2021 with possible applications via remote learning in Spring 2021 or for use in a summer pre-arch bootcamp CONSTRAINTS: Students will not have access to physical materials or on-site software use during remote learning ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: Students typically work on units in small groups; some units are whole-class instruction / REMOTE- LEARNING friendly and some are not START-UP COSTS: $5600

5 YEAR SITE LICENSE FOR LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: $2800 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ONE INSTRUCTOR: $1400 INSTALLATION: $1400 PRELIMINARY UNIT RECOMMENDATIONS (10-15 instructional hours each) & COSTS: Blueprint Reading: $1500 Estimation Skills: $1500 Flight Technology: $3895 Structural Engineering: $6595 Intro to Engineering: $2995 Virtual Architecture: $2195 Surveying & Site Planning: $3400 ADVANCED UNITS (20-30 instructional hours each): Architectural Design ($6395) & Construction Technology ($7495)
