REALM CHARTER SCHOOL'S
LUNCH ROOM

ABOUT

For the past 3 years, I have been the lead design and build educator of Studio H. Studio H is an in-school design/build class for 9th-12th grade students based at Realm Charter School in Berkeley, CA. Studio H students apply their core subject learning to design and build audacious and socially transformative projects.

For the first Semester of the 2017-2018 academic calendar year, students at Realm Charter School focused on designing and building new furniture for their school's lunch room. 

​

The high school changed location the Summer prior, and once students began their school year, they noticed that there was a need for a space where they could eat lunch, and hang out with their friends. This was their response to meeting that need.

​

The construction was done using only 2x4s and hardware. Students learned basic framework, structural engineering, and became experts in using tools such as the chop saw, and impact drivers.

​

Overall, the project was a huge success as Realm's students use the furniture daily!
