“Reading Wetu” is a project created with the first grade class of Ms. Erin Shakour at Orchard STEM School, located on Cleveland’s west side. The Wetu occupies an 8 x 8 x 8 foot area in the corner of her classroom, and houses her library of children’s books. The structure is built entirely from 3/4" thick plywood and yarn, and was fabricated with the CNC router at think[box]. This project was a collaboration with Progressive Arts Alliance, a local arts organization whose focus is to provide STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) programming to the Cleveland Public School District.
