This summer, the Sasaki Foundation hosted our fourth annual Summer Exploratory Experience in Design (SEED) program. SEED is a six-week paid internship for high school students from the Boston area. With the help of teaching assistants and Sasaki design mentors, the students learn about careers in the design field and develop their own tactical urbanism project.
This summer, the Sasaki Foundation held the third annual Summer Exploratory Experience in Design (SEED) program, a six-week paid internship for students from Greater Boston high schools that is structured holistically around introducing young students to the world of design. The program is an intensive deep dive into collaborative project work, with Sasaki designers leading workshops and lessons with students each week. Due to COVID-19, the program took place virtually, incorporating a few in-person site visits.
The Sasaki Foundation kicked off its annual Summer Exploratory Experience in Design (SEED) program in partnership with American Student Assistance earlier this month. SEED is a six-week paid internship structured holistically around introducing young high school students to the world of design. Through the program, we hope to collectively build a culture of equity in the design field by showing young students alternative career paths to industries they may never have known existed or were available to them.
Now through April 15, the Sasaki Foundation is accepting applications for the Summer Exploratory Experience in Design (SEED) program—a six-week paid internship in partnership with American Student Assistance (ASA) for two high school students to learn more about career possibilities in the design field by working with Sasaki designers.
This summer, the Foundation held the second annual Summer Exploratory Experience in Design (SEED) program, a six-week paid internship for students from various Greater Boston high schools that was structured holistically around introducing young students to the world of design. The program is an intensive deep-dive into collaborative project work, working alongside Sasaki designers who served as teachers and mentors to students throughout the program by sharing their expertise in their practice.

YouthBuild Boston gave the high school students a lesson about the construction process to help them understand the steps. Students then started brainstorming ideas on how to adapt those steps to child-friendly activities.

YouthBuild Boston gave the high school students a lesson about the construction process to help them understand the steps. Students then started brainstorming ideas on how to adapt those steps to child-friendly activities.
