Saturday classes are held for 8 weeks each semester and are taught by Kelly Lyons, Director of Outreach Programs, with a select number of architecture students. Those interested in teaching younger students should contact Kelly by email at kellyons@cmu.edu. Student teachers are provided a small stipend and are required to create their own course work for the 8-week sequence.
