RIT's interior design program partnered with the local Webster Montessori School for its annual one-week experience where students work with a real-world client on developing design solutions. For the 2025 workshop, students proposed innovative redesigns of the school’s extracurricular spaces. Inde Design Studio and Edge Architecture were also contributing collaborators.

Webster Montessori School is a private preschool and elementary school dedicated to Montessori education, an approach that promotes critical thinking through individualized learning, tactile exploration, and timeless skills. Teams of students were challenged to create interior proposals for the various spaces in the school, inclusive of child-friendly technology, that complements the values of the curriculum.
