Inquiry and wonder fuel our projects.
Students redesign of vacant green space called Heart Park.
We asked our students:
What do you want your grandchildren to know about you and your project?
“They’ll remember me as a creative person who decided to make change for the better”
“I want to leave a positive message behind and I want to let everyone know that I made my community better.”
“I want them to know my LEGACY and what I left for them and to show what I know.”
“I want them to know that I was an innovator and a creator.”
