Design Apprenticeship Program I Final Presentation
Studio 231

Maker - DAPThe Design Apprenticeship Program teaches the principles of fabrication to show students that they can affect the world around them and enact positive change through good design. As students explore neighborhoods, brainstorm solutions, and accomplish projects together, they learn the importance of teamwork, creative problem solving, and advocacy skills.

The fall Design Apprenticeship Program provides a hands-on opportunity for teens to experience the fundamentals of the design and construction process. Studio teams conceived and fabricated a design solution to provide seating for the second floor of the Museum. The participants collaborated with each other and design professionals, like architects and graphic designers, to conceptualize, plan, explore materials, and construct the full-scale modular seating solutions.

The Design Apprenticeship Program is generously supported by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation; The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation; The Tower Companies; Hattie M. Strong Foundation; Clark Charitable Foundation; American Society of Interior Designers; The Butz Foundation; Zeldin Family Foundation; and an anonymous donor. Geppetto Catering, Inc. is the official meal provider for Teen Programs at the National Building Museum.
