DesignDisco Summer Studio
DesignDisco is a nonprofit organization founded by Jason with the mission to democratize design education. The Summer Studio 2019 was a project Jason had dreamed of since attending the youth summer program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Creative direction, experience design, curriculum design.
Team: Jason N, Jana O, Kasimir SW, Karina G, Ani B, Jiri P, Milena P, Jakub K
The DD Summer Studio program exposed students to design thinking through practical and engaging design/build projects and focused on 3 core values and skill sets: creative confidence, teamwork, and sustainability. Through workshops, site visitations and excursions to design firms, students also got a peek of what it's like as a professional in the realm of design. Students had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with international architects and designers to hear about their experiences and exchange ideas on how to improve a public space. At the end of the studio, there was a final presentation and vernissage of the students’ collaborative work for friends, families and the public to enjoy.
