Teens, dive into design! Immerse yourselves in art, architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, interiors, and fashion, and gain insights into careers involving all aspects of design. Youâll develop skills and partnerships to further a future in the design industry, all while making a difference in your community and the spaces where you live and learn. In this program, participants develop a range of hands-on skills as they work alongside design industry professionals and reimagine a space in our community!
Community organizations
Every summer we partner with a different community organization that works with young people! If your organization works with young folks, is looking for a summer project for them, and has a space in need of a makeover, you are in the right spot!
Past projects
Past projects include partnerships with Seattle Parks and Recreation in reimagining the Teen Room at the South Park Community Center, Arts and Academics Academy where students redesigned the schoolâs computer lab and hallway, and a collaboration with Seattleâs Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, where the young designers worked in teams to propose three teen-friendly concepts for the Seattle Waterfront.
