Abstract

This paper outlines the process and outcomes of building ten classrooms across an urban metropolis. The classrooms were designed to address the effects of race related stress and microagressions on high schools students. We describe the mechanism for capturing the data around the trauma and will present both models and images of the classrooms that were designed and built
