We are collaborated with students at It Takes a Village in Bronzeville to reimagine their outdoor campus. For inspiration, we took the middle school students on a field trip to the Obama Presidential Library's outdoor space to identify key elements of vibrant public environments. During the trip, students explored interactive public installations, tested playground structures made from natural materials for open-ended play, and enjoyed the surrounding gardens and green spaces. Our young designers then crafted their informed proposals to community stakeholders. They did amazing!
