If you build it

In the movie if you build it design is used as a form of advocacy to help the community of Bertie county. A design program is implemented for students and provides them with a hands on learning experience. There was not much opportunity in the county for young people and they were not provided with much of a learning experience in the classroom. The Studio H program allowed the students to learn in a different way and work on projects that made the community better. The farmers market that they built was a huge way to impact the community for the better, providing jobs and a place to get food for a lower price. I think that using design in this was as a form of advocacy is great because it gave the students a sense of opportunity and a feeling that what they were doing was important. I think using design as a form of advocacy and programs like Studio H could help many other communities like it did Bertie county.
