PENSACAN EXHIBIT
Join us as we partner with Manna for PensaCAN 2025! The event is hosted by Cordova Mall - A Simon Mall. PensaCAN is a competition where teams create impressive structures made entirely out of full cans of food. Following a week-long display of the structures (and posters with images of digital designs) and voting, all food is then donated to Manna for distribution to our neighbors in need in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Food structures will be built at Cordova Mall in the common area between Dillard’s and Ross on Thursday, October 2, and will be on display through Friday, October 10. A panel of judges will vote on the structures on Friday, October 3, in categories such as Best Meal Award, Best Use of Labels Award, and Structural Ingenuity Award. You can get involved too! People’s Choice Award votes will be accepted online at www.mannahelps.org October 3-10! Come out to Cordova Mall and support our local architects and build teams in the fight against hunger! October 3-10 Cordova Mall 5100 N 9th Ave Pensacola, FL 32504 |

SEPTEMBER CE LUNCHES
Outdoor Learning, The Outdoor Environment, and How Both Can Combat Toxic Stress Course Description Outdoor Learning has become a new trend in education, but how can we ensure we aren’t just building a million dollar shade structure that won’t be used? Current research supports the use of outdoor learning to combat toxic stress and negative effects of trauma. And, after we’ve all experienced the realities of living through a pandemic, outdoor learning has become that much more important as a tool for good health. So how can we support schools to ensure outdoor spaces are used? First, we will look at what the research says about the benefits of outdoor learning. But then we will move a step further to look at types of outdoor learning experiences and how outdoor environments can support easy use of these beneficial spaces. 1 HSW This course also provides credit for the following organizations: IDCEC (ASID, IDC, IDEC, IIDA) CEU Lunch Meetings are a benefit of membership in AIA Florida Northwest Any non-member attending will be charged $20 for cost of lunch.

Our intent is: 1) to increase the numbers of our members engaged in these programs, 2) to obtain tools, insights and relationships that will benefit our profession as a whole, and 3) to then create connections within our chapter communities demonstrating the value of architects in leadership roles.
