This month, Street Lab is rolling out curriculum about Open Streets at nine NYC public schools. We’ll lead a series of workshops with students that introduce core concepts of urban planning and public space design and engage youth in the planning and activation of a street in front of their school. After completing six sessions with Street Lab, students will lead a one-day Open Street for the whole community. This work is made possible in part by NYC Dept. of Education’s Office of Energy & Sustainability, and is part of Street Lab’s work helping communities launch and operate successful Open Streets across New York City. More details at our web site.
Street Lab works with NYC schools lacking outdoor space to create Open Streets that temporarily make a place for outdoor learning and much more. In partnership with @nyc_dot . Supported by Street Lab donors. Check it out (link in bio).
