Imagineering

Description:
Participants design and build sculptural "dream pods"—Afrofuturist time capsules that store personal dreams, memories, or messages for the future. These can be emotional healing devices, ancestral archives, or tools of joy and connection. Youth are guided to use patterns, symbols, and geometry (like pyramids and triangles) to reflect their vision and purpose.
