Design Apprenticeship Program II Final Presentation

Design Apprenticeship Program participant in the workshop.

This semester, D.C. teens collaborated with design professionals to build Little Free Libraries for community gardens that will encourage local residents to connect with each other through a "take a book, return a book" system. Design teams used salvaged and upcycled materials from Community Forklift to construct the libraries. During this final presentation, teen participants will share how their library design uniquely represents a local community garden. We encourage attendees to bring a book in good condition to donate.

Join us after the presentations for a reception to celebrate our aspiring designers' hard work.
