If You Build It: The Power of Design to Change the World

Design and building can transform lives, communities, and education. In this session, stories, projects, and lessons from Project H Design's seven-year history will be shared, including public architecture built by high school students, 10-year-old welder girls, and partnerships with civic entities that have created jobs and social impact across the country. Using architecture as a lens, Emily will lay out a plan and challenge for youth to be leaders and builders of the future. She will make the case for design education as an untapped resource to unleash audacity and progress in response to real problems and inspire you to reinvent your own creative practice and leadership.
