Overview
"Students using Teen Central at the Boston Public Library in 2021 and 2022 loved coming to hang out and play at the teens only space. What most thought was missing was a place to isolate, get away from stimulants, and reconnect with themselves. This paper explores how that understanding was built through a story based youth organizing process, and tackled by a teen codesign cohort who designed and prototyped a spatial intervention: the Recharging Space." -- Abstract
