Hey everyone, I hope your week is going great!

For Ted Talk Thursday, we wanted to share this amazing talk by Mara Mintzer that can help you see the power kids can have within design in an area previously not considered. She asks them about urbanism and includes their ideas in talks with the local government, creating fun and inclusive spaces. I look forward to hearing what you think!
