KIPP:Indy

Background

KIPP:Indy is a charter school in Indianapolis that provides a safe environment for children to learn. As the school continues to grow, they needed to showcase their growth and commitment to providing quality education for the community.

This project focused on using their commitment to the community and a desire to do more to transform their site.
