Students were “on station” at specific “Festival” locations and provided articulate and engaging discussions about their work, specific information related to project roles and responsibilities, overall project planning and organization details, and lessons learned from the experience. In addition, some students also explained the nature of creative and innovative partnerships and collaborations with “clients” that involved teamwork, determining client needs, design concept ideas, interactive thinking, synthesis and intentionality, drafts and models, schedules and timelines, and finished product or model.
Some of the exhibits and projects related to HTHSCV/community collaborations and partnerships included:
-The Restoring Dignity/Empathy Project- North Park Area
-The Monarch School/HTHSCV Project
-Tiny Homes Project - San Diego
-Community Re-development El Cajon Blvd.- Incubator Business Project
-The Veterans Project - San Diego Area
-San Diego International Airport New Terminal 1 Design Project
-The “HTHSCV & HTHElemS – MARS Yard Project

-statistical analysis and interpretation
-proposal designs for entrepreneurial enterprises
-architectural renderings and models
