Last night, New Design students had the opportunity to attend Cooper Hewitt's Teen Design Fair. In attendance were a wide variety of professional fashion designers, graphic designers, industrial designers, and architects who answered the students' questions and gave them feedback on their portfolios.
The highlight of the evening was the keynote speech by Tim Gunn, Chief Creative Officer of Liz Claiborne and co-host of Bravo's Project Runway. He is pictured above speaking with New Design's Devin, Nora, Juanise, and Amy, giving them feedback on their work and design advice.

THE CONGO PROJECT
Ideas to shed some light on a difficult situation..... New Design students are working to develop lights for IDP camp shelters. These are some of the references we are considering. They include collapsable containers to send, an alternative power source, and a lamp students can draw on.
New Design is partnering with various humanitarian organizations (UNICEF, The More We Share, Community of Unity) on the project. Over two huundred lamps will be donated to raise awareness on the situation and provide some hope for young children.

Summer School: Youth Portraits Showcase
We are currently in the process of completing session 2 of our New Design Summer Institute, a project based credit recovery summer course called Youth Portraits, partnered with our lead cultural partner Urban Arts Partnership (formerly known as Working Playground). This Friday, July 18, 2008, twenty-five of our New Design students will culmintate this intensive literacy course by sharing their work with our communities at large. Students that participated in the Youth Portraits class will share their written autobiographical moment essays, their recorded Youth Portrait and added sound design work as well as their illustrated chap books. Teachers Tracee Worley, Laura Rubin, Theresa Stanley, Ben Rojas and Jesse Pais worked really hard to move this group through an array of autobiographical literature, monologues and theatre pieces, illustration and comic book storyboards all while balancing the teaching, learning, student relationships and fun! Imagine that!
