Project H Starts Studio H
Project H Starts Studio H Project H Design is a nonprofit team of designers and builders working locally to improve the quality of life for the socially overlooked. Their long-term initiatives focus on using design to improve public education experiences, spaces, and curricula in the US.

In doing so Project H is starting a new high school in rural North Carolina. Studio H will be a 1-year high school curriculum for the Bertie County School District in rural North Carolina that combines design thinking, vocational trade training, and community citizenship to equip low-opportunity teenagers with critical creative problem solving skills for life. Over 2 semesters (Fall/Spring), students will collaborate to design and develop, a prototype community project (e.g. bus shelters for the school bus system, a co-op greenhouse, or a public park). The following summer, the students will be offered paid summer jobs to actually construct the project. Studio H will empower students through team-based hands-on learning, engage educational capacities to the fullest, and provide a diverse skillset for the next generation to access new job markets, improve their community and excel academically in the state’s poorest and most racially polarized county.
