Spotlight of Current BNE Events
BE The Next Fashion Designer
We are excited to introduce a dynamic opportunity for middle schoolers through Butterflies N Effect.
Students will learn directly from Testimony, a streetwear designer from ZET Clothing, gaining hands-on experience in:
• Digital design (Krita, Canva, Adobe Illustrator)
• Creative brand development
• Fashion and entrepreneurial thinking
This program blends creativity with technology, exposing students to real-world skills in design and innovation.
Spots are limited. Register here:
