Design education for all
One of the guiding principles of DesignPhiladelphia is to make design accessible to everyone, so we are building a robust pipeline from K through Career. We are focused on bringing K-12 design education in underserved communities across Philadelphia. We also are cultivating a culture of belonging in partnership with our higher education partners and professional firms -- so that all students and emerging professionals can thrive and continue to grow as a designer.
