We are delighted to share our first ever social media Student Spotlight! 🔦 Meet Marcos Leon-Gonzalez, a rising Junior at Delcastle Vocational Tech High School in Wilmington, DE. During his first year of ACE as just a Sophomore, Marcos blew away mentor and instructor expectations, helping lead his team to design an Olympic Stadium for the 2024 ACE Mentor Program of America / Construction Industry Round Table (CIRT) National Design and Construction Competition!   His efforts, drive, and passion for architecture did not stop there. After the end of the season in March, Marcos dove right into the 2024 Autodesk Make It Resilient Competition, designing an Emergency Reponse Habitat for Flooding and Hurricanes, and placing as a Finalist/Runner Up Nationally! He is making history as the first ever ACE DE Student to place in a National competition, doing so as just a Sophomore at the time. He is also the 2024 winner of our Student Social Media/LinkedIn Challenge 📸 Check out his submission for the 2024 Autodesk Make It Resilient Competition here: https://lnkd.in/e6M9BPV7   We are so proud of Marcos, and are inspired by him like so many other students in our local affiliate.
