Early Outreach & Duct Tape Wallets



My kids with their crazy wallets.


Working hard.

For the third consecutive year iDo participated with SFSU's early outreach program to provide design workshops to elementary school kids. This years group was from Marshall Elementary School. A total of 35 children constructed duct tape wallets from templates and their imaginations in 45 minutes with the help and instruction of iDo mentors.

At the end of the project each child was able to walk away with their very own creation, some had even done hand drawings or created personalities for their wallets. For example, my group turned their wallets into monstrous ticks and fleas with chains for horns. There is no limit to a child's imagination...
