Getting the Community Involved

On Saturday, Oct. 11th, we conducted a series of community workshop exercises to get the youth that use the SIDAREC community center involved in the design of their new center. The exercises were designed to allow us to better understand their priorities and sense of space. We called the exercises "Post-It Mapping," "Building with Program Blocks," and "Tech Trading."
