Dear Crosstown Family,
Welcome back!
YETI-CON, our spring exhibition, will be held on our physical campus located in the Crosstown Concourse, Saturday, May 22, 2021. As a project-based high school we exhibit student work throughout our space, and welcome our community to engage with the thoughtful work our student leaders are creating.
In addition to in-class presentations of learning, we conduct two Exhibitions per school year: our mid-year Prototype Fair, that concludes the fall semester and YETI-CON, concluding the spring semester. Prototype Fair acknowledges works in progress by prioritizing feedback and establishing best practices. YETI-CON encompasses selected work from the school year highlighting the life cycles of projects and challenges students to apply feedback within their own design thinking process.
On May 22, 2021, we will celebrate the work of our students through physical and virtual installations, live music performances, a pop-up bazaar, and networking fair. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about YETI-CON’s event logistics and student participation.
