Balitmore (United States) - Design Revolution Road Show is a travelling exhibition and lecture series about the empowerment of product design to 35 high schools and university, and is part of the Project H Design initiative.
Emily Pilloton and Matthew Miller have been spearheading the Design Revolution Road show since 1 February 2010 to travel across the United States in 75 days and will make their next stop in The Park School in Baltimore, Maryland.
"Our goal, aside from an awesome road trip, was to inspire the next generation of creative problem solvers," blogs Pilloton on a recent post, "and to provide them with the tools necessary to embark on meaningful, community-driven design projects in their own back yards."
The team is already halfway through their itinerary and updates daily photos about their adventure throughout the country. Among the top 10 moments during their road trip "so far," include a Hippo Roller vs. bucket race, solar panels to charge their trailer, and a Border Collie they picked up in Texas.
News of their adventures are updated daily on the Design Revolution Road Show's blog.
