iFp Studios is a teen-powered design and innovation studio specializing in creating a positive impact in the world.  We bring together aspiring creatives, technologists, and change-makers to collaborate with professional designers, software developers, engineers, and others on real-world student-initiated and client-sponsored projects. iFp Teens use ethnographic research tools to deconstruct complex problems and creative technologies such as coding, web and app design, augmented reality, 2D/3D animation, and motion graphics to build products and experiences that challenge the status quo and spark positive change. Project partners sponsor our student-initiated projects and also hire us to add fresh viewpoints to their own social impact projects.
