Citizen Design Internship
HSC is involved with an ongoing high-school internship. The internship, during school and in the summer, provides high-school students with opportunities to gain hands-on experience with community improvement projects. Interns are encouraged to develop a sense of leadership as they play an active role in developing and designing tools for creating public art and design projects. The Citizen Designer Blog can be accessed at http://www.hesterstreetcollaborative.blogspot.com/.

Famous quotes containing the words citizen and/or design:
“The duty of the State toward the citizen is the duty of the servant to its master.... One of the duties of the State is that of caring for those of its citizens who find themselves the victims of such adverse circumstances as makes them unable to obtain even the necessities for mere existence without the aid of others.... To these unfortunate citizens aid must be extended by government—not as a matter of charity but as a matter of social duty.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
