Design LAB: Learn + Build is dedicated to fostering appreciation, awareness, and enhancement of the built environment through hands-on education. By partnering local design professionals with educators, students are guided through the process of developing real-world design solutions.
This year’s theme, Push Play, challenges students to rethink what a play space can be—and who it can be built for—encouraging inclusive, imaginative, and boundary-pushing ideas.
