The 2024 VT Inside Design Summer Program, in partnership with @hanbury.design has come to a close!

Crafted for high school students with an interest in the field of architecture and design, the program aims to educate and inspire by engaging students in the full spectrum of the design process, from concept to realization.

Throughout the week, students worked both individually and collectively to navigate the stages of the design process. By employing an iterative design method, students enhanced both their critical and creative thinking skills. This approach fosters collaboration and enriches dialogues around design concepts.

Instructors provided foundational guidance in model-making and architectural drawing, equipping students with the skills to express their ideas across various mediums. The curriculum included exposure to both traditional and digital techniques, such as 3D scanning and printing, offering a comprehensive exploration of architectural expression.

The program culminated in a final exhibition, providing a platform for students to present their projects. This celebration of their hard work and creativity allowed them to share their achievements with peers, family, and the broader Inside Design community.

At Hanbury, they are driven by a culture of curiosity and continuous learning, where personal development and collective progress are inextricably linked. They believe in empowering the next generation of designers by providing a foundation that combines academic rigor with practical, real-world applications. Their partnership with the VT Inside Design Summer Program embodies this commitment, encouraging students to explore beyond conventional boundaries and contribute thoughtfully to the world of design.

Thank you to Hanbury for their commitment to mentoring the next generation of designers. In addition, thank you to our previous educators, @baskervilldesign and @fultzsingharchitects, for their donations that made 25 scholarships and 7 new 3D printers available for this year’s group. And thank you to the students who attended the 2024 VT Inside Design Summer Program!
