In partnership with the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati, the Library introduces the Design LAB exhibit (former Architecture by Children exhibit), the final piece of an in-classroom design education program tailored to broaden and deepen student awareness, appreciation and active participation in our built environment. Local professionals worked with educators to guide students through a real-world, themed design problem, emphasizing the development of  research and observation, critical-thinking, problem solving, verbal and visual communication, creative expression and presentation skills.

This year’s project theme, ‘Food For Thought’, challenged students to push the limits of where and how we make, buy and eat food. Students had the opportunity to create a three-dimensional model and design process board.
