This semester, Weber launched a new DZA class:  "Design Marketplace." Co-taught by Design Instructor Madi Anderson and Director of Technology & Design Chris Chapman, "Design Marketplace" teaches students how to run a business. "Students will learn about entrepreneurship, marketing, salesmanship, and other related topics that are integral to running a business," shared Ms. Anderson. "I like to call this class, "How to create your own Etsy store 101."

The course, fashioned after the "Make 10" course developed by Steve Chinnis at Georgia Tech's School of Industrial Design, tasks students to develop a product idea and create five of each product. At the end of the year, the students will sell their products at a design symposium planned by the class and marketed to the Weber community. Students will learn how to market their products on social media and around the school beforehand to create awareness of their offerings and promote interest and drive sales. Profits from the product sales will go toward a Covid-safe, end of the year celebration for the class.

Students of the Year (SOY) is a philanthropic leadership development program for high school students. During the campaign, students take charge of a large-scale fundraising initiative for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).

This week, the Weber Rams High School legacy team, led by sophomores Maggie Deutsch and Sam Menkowitz, launched this year's SOY fundraising campaign and will spend the next seven weeks engaged in raising awareness and life-changing funds for LLS cancer patients.
The dedicated and motivated team of students joining Maggie and Sam include Bobbi Sloan, Gil Slomka, Amelia Heller, Izzy Wachter, Aviv Neuman, Jaclyn Marx, Seth Shapiro, Dov Karlin, Miriam Nadler, Lili Stadler, David Leavitt, Emily Mand, Zamir Norry, Ilana Levenberg, Leah Moradi, Rowan Noktes, Dylan Dickson, and Eva Beresin.
