Where can experiential learning opportunities in higher-ed support the K-12 engagement around architecture, construction, and real estate? Season 10/Collab Lab 76 Our final Collab Lab of the season will be held on Wednesday May 13th, as part of UWM’s Experiential Learning Showcase. Krisann Rehbein from UWM’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning and Fidel Verdin from TRUE Skool will share their successful experiential learning partnership related to the design of the future TRUE Skool facility. That will be followed by a discussion facilitated by the UWM students who have been attending our Collab Labs this spring as part of their own experiential learning opportunity for Ben Trager’s Ed Policy class on Community Partnerships. Agenda 5:00 to 5:45 pm Panel with Krisann Rehbein and Fidel Verdin 5:45 to 8:00 pm Connect & Explore Featured Participants Krisann Rehbein — Director, Community Design Solutions, UWM School of Architecture & Urban Planning Krisann is a Milwaukee-based design educator and not-for-profit leader who specializes in youth and community engagement. Krisann runs Community Design Solutions, a design center at the School of Architecture & Urban Planning at UWM where she also teaches. Additionally, she is the Executive Director of ACE Mentor Chicago, an organization that introduces teens to career opportunities in architecture, construction and engineering. Before moving to Milwaukee, Krisann spent over a decade at the Chicago Architecture Foundation (now Center) where she implemented city-wide programming for teens, created community outreach initiatives and developed a suite of new adult programs to expand the conversation about the built environment. Fidel Verdin — Co-Executive Director, TRUE Skool Fidel is a Co-Executive Director of TRUE Skool, a nonprofit organization with a mission to engage, educate and empower youth and families through Transformative Creative Arts & Hip Hop Culture. Growing up in the “Golden Era of Hip Hop” they understand that Hip Hop culture was a positive empowering force in their lives. It introduced them to past and present leaders, educated them on political and social issues through music and art, created new entrepreneurial opportunities and exposed them to different global cultures in ways that school never did. TRUE Skool is outgrowing its space on the lower level inside The Ave and looks to build out a new facility within the next few years. This creates a unique opportunity to expose participating students and citywide youth to a broad range of careers, be part of a legacy project, and create both a new vision for what a school could be and how business and community partners can come together to make that happen.
