Workshop/Demo Amplifying Youth in Design: Girl Scouts Making an Impact!

Join us for an enlightening presentation and demonstration that showcases the creative minds of our community’s young designers and innovators working on their World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024 Community Initiative. Hear inspiring stories from Girl Scouts about their journey co-creating a solution to improve the lives of pets and plans to develop a new Girl Scouts badge.

Young Girl Scouts earning their Bronze Award (ages 11-12) will share their perspectives on leveraging design to address pressing issues regarding the crisis in overwhelmed animal shelters in San Diego and Tijuana.

Experience a live demonstration of their innovative prototype app for pet owners, designed to make an impact on the pet crisis in our region and discover how humanity-centered design can be a powerful tool for solving real-world challenges.
