Featured Projects: United Way & Snowflake

United Way – Educational Programming for Black Studies

In partnership with United Way and program director Nina Shovel, we transformed our school bus into a mobile educational tour promoting Black Studies.

• Multiple vignettes were fabricated to showcase educational exhibits for varying age groups

• A custom ramp was added to accommodate stroller and accessible entry

• The activation stopped at schools and community hubs across the region

• Our fabrication team adapted layouts between stops, showcasing the reconfigurable nature of the platform

Snowflake – Fintech Experience in Motion

To support a fintech activation for Snowflake, a leader in AI banking solutions, we transformed the school bus into a modern demo environment:

• The bus served as a walk-through product showroom for enterprise-level software demos

• Interior design mimicked a tech lounge, with LED lighting, digital displays, and touchscreen integrations

• Despite tight deadlines, all fabrication, graphics, and AV integration were completed in-house and on time

These examples show how versatile and scalable a school bus activation can be. It can serve as both a content-rich educational platform and a sleek branded environment for enterprise demos.
