3T Academy - Build your Own Campus

Event description

What if you got to design your ultimate college campus?

What is the ultimate college campus: One built for your success, your access needs, and your community? In this hands‑on workshop, you will team up to imagine a campus where everything works the way it should.

You’ll shape everything from academic departments to campus services, accessibility features, social spaces, and the skills you’ll need to thrive in college and beyond. Bring your creativity, your voice, and your vision. We’ll bring the fun, the collaboration, and the tools to help you build something unforgettable.
