Project H - Design Education

Project H Website

17 Minute TED Video

Project H is a not-for-profit that is determined to save rural communities with the power of design. Their design model facilitates needs beyond just spaces or object’s. They are offering hands on education that inspires and leads a generation into becoming successful individuals. Student’s confidence is higher, their attentiveness to learning is enhanced and their drive / focus is more acute.

With this education and format of scholastic learning by designing a new classroom, student’s are encouraged to give their efforts back to their community. This is achieved literally in the work that is completed throughout the community and also in the hopes that they will stay or return to the community after pursuing their passions. It’s designing WITH the end user and not FOR the end user.
