Visiting Little Black Pearl

This week, some of our team members headed over to Little Black Pearl (LBP)–Art and Design Center's Options Laboratory High School to meet with teachers that we will be collaborating with.

We will be running two workshops with the students.

For the first workshop, we are intending to have the students to explore the museum, and do research with us.

The second workshop, we will be collaborating with students from LBP in a workshop setting to generate ideas for the museum.

We are excited to be running workshops with the students and looking forward to creative and wonderful outcome!

Welcome

The Student Center for Diversity and Inclusion (SCDI) at Illinois Institute of Technology created the partnership between the DuSable Museum of African American History, Little Black Pearl (LBP) Art and Design Center’s Options Laboratory High School and IIT Institute of Design (ID) to support the community, inspire collaborative learning and promote higher education.

Students from Options Laboratory HS will assist the efforts of students from the Institute of Design to create a multi-tiered student learning approach to advanced design methods, creative art and technology.

This blog was created to track the progress of the project and students from other schools are invited to share in the experience online and at the museum.
