Google's Code Next Lab
Code Next Lab is a free computer science lab designed by Kurani for underserved students of color in grades 8 to 12, in Oakland, California. It is a collaborative effor between Google and Kurani to tackle the lack of diversity in the STEM industry, both in the educational and professional space.
My role is to design environmental graphics that integrates origin stories of the space while also providing practical guidance byways of signage/wall graphics. To get kids to think like makers, the furniture and materials in the lab are etched with origin stories explaining how the materials were made. For example, some of the etched messages teach students about eco-friendly materials used to build the lab, such as countertops made from recycled cardboard and metal scraps or the lab’s plant-based floors that mimic concrete.
