It is no secret that design touches almost everything we interact with on a daily basis; more than ever, we live in a design-driven society where everything from our technology to the food that we consume is a function of design processes. As a result, a career in design provides many job opportunities. However, traditional K–12 education offers most underserved students of color little to no access to design training that could provide them with design awareness, knowledge, or skills. Inneract Project is set to change this by providing programming that not only educates but exposes youth and their communities to various fields in design. Maurice Woods outlines Inneract Project, demonstrating the benefits of design education for students as well as the field itself.
