Дизайнерът Емили Пилотън се премества в селския Бърти Kаунти, Северна Каролина, за да се захване със смел експеримент да промени чрез дизайна общността. Тя преподава курс по дизайн, наречен Студио Ейч, в който учениците с дух и тяло предлагат нови изобретения и нови възможности за най-бедния окръг в щата.

Емили Пилотън: Преподаването на дизайна като промяна

Applying hands-on design and building to education can spark pride and progress in even the most struggling communities. In Bertie County, North Carolina, where only 27 percent of students passed state standards and one in three children lives in poverty, a radical design-build curriculum turned students into creators of tangible local change. Projects like student-built farmers' markets and playgrounds elevated learning and connected the classroom to community needs. This approach shows that creativity and collaboration can unlock new futures for rural youth and their towns.
