デザイナーであるエミリー・ピロトンは、貧しい農村地域であるノースキャロライナ州バーティ郡に移住し、デザインの力でコミュニティに変革を引き起こす果敢な実験を行いました。エミリーは「スタジオＨ」というデザインと建築のクラスで教鞭をとり、中高生を心身ともに惹きつけながら、米国で最も貧しい地域に、良質なデザインと新しい機会をもたらしました。

エミリー・ピロトン：変革のためのデザイン教育

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.
