The lab curriculum would help students learn essential skills like data collection and analysis, as well as add to the main topics in the course about environmental justice and activism. With the data that the students collected, they can speak to administrators and implement new policies to reduce waste on campus.
We attempt to apply the Campus as a Lab principle to the Brooklyn College School of Education.
We propose the class include a final project that investigates the energy usage of each building on Brooklyn College’s campus and creates a plan to implement what they’ve learned about urban planning and green buildings to create more green buildings on our campus.
If you want to research a climate change issue that affects your school community, this is for you! Campus as a Lab explores a project pushing sustainability in the classroom.
