The Project
South Hills High School is launching a Design Contest to redefine the learning space by converting the library into the Digital Innovation Lounge or more affectionately known; The DILo
There are 5 teams comprised of 10-12 students that will collaborate for 15 weeks to create a design that captures the student’s ideal learning atmosphere that includes the following:
Maker Space
Audio/Video Lab
Collaboration Space
Presentation Space
Library Kiosk
The team vision is not limited to the above components, but they must be apart of the plan.
Each team will have the following coaches made available for them:
3 TCU Interior Design Students to consult with on a weekly basis
2 Huckabee and Associates Architecture Intern (http://www.huckabee-inc.com/)
Access to the North Texas Director and Sales Manage of KI Furniture (http://www.ki.com/)
All teams are required to consult with their coaches both virtually and face-to-face each week.
At the end of the 15 weeks, we will host an event Huckabee Architects and Associates Downtown Fort Worth office where students will pitch their design in front of professionals, but the South Hills student body will decide the winner.
This is an exciting real-world opportunity for our student participants that will promote Student Achievement, Leadership Development, Stakeholder Collaboration, Respect for Diversity, Equity in Access, Perseverance and Commitment, Continuous Improvement which in the end prepares our students for College and Career and Community leadership in an interconnected digital world while giving them a sense of pride most importantly.
