CHICAGO - illiNews -- Schools That Can Chicago will host a Design Day Challenge for middle schoolers on November 1, 2019. This year's Design Day Challenge will make history: middle schoolers from the entire Schools That Can network will come together to envision how they would create an area of the future Obama Presidential Center if they were the architects.
"We're honored and excited to use the Obama Presidential Center as inspiration for this Design Day," says Beth Bazer, Executive Director of Schools That Can Chicago. "This is an incredible opportunity for students and professionals to work together in an academic exercise around the development of a notable civic structure that will become part of Chicago's rich history. The Obamas' legacy represents hope and the potential of our future, and there's no better way to celebrate this than watching students collaborate to make decisions, empower and learn from each other, and ultimately inspire their community."
