Project Open Door Teams up with Hasbro
On July, 18 Rhode Island high school students explored the creative potential of product design in Playful Connections, a week-long studio collaboration between the global play and entertainment company Hasbro, Inc. and Project Open Door (POD), RISD’s college access program for talented teens from Rhode Island public schools in Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls and Woonsocket. In morning workshops, students learned about the creative process from Hasbro designers, who encouraged them to envision imaginative and ambitious product concepts in afternoon sessions with their POD instructors.
