Rooftop Legends

In High School, I was always jeal­ous of other kids who knew exactly what they wanted to do with their life – it took me until half-​way through col­lege before I really found my call­ing, which explains my lib­eral arts degree.

So, I’m amazed that there is a Design High School in the Lower East Side. It has a pretty inter­est­ing mission:

We believe that when stu­dents are engaged in the process of design­ing, they are learn­ing to observe, seek prob­lems, iden­tify needs, frame prob­lems, work col­lab­o­ra­tively, explore and appre­ci­ate solu­tions, weigh alter­na­tives, and com­mu­ni­cate their ideas ver­bally, graph­i­cally and physically.

And they even invited artists, stu­dents, and staff to create stree­tart on the roof of the school. Here is a video, from Rocketboom:

Very cool stuff.
