Builder
Builders are participants that come with us for the first time. They are the core of what we do because they come into direct contact with the rural youth, and hence have the greatest opportunity to impact them. We look for Builders that are positive, initiative, and have a heart for the community.
Builders receive Design Thinking theory training.
Master Builders will lead students through designing their own social projects. Builders will support by facilitating group-level discussions.
Builders meet and practice on-the-ground Design Thinking.
