In Sustainable Communities, students will deep dive into circular economies, biomimicry, urban farming, bio-hacking and more as they learn how to spot greenwashing and other eco-fads. Students will interrogate the idea of sustainability, what it takes to be truly sustainable and compete for prizes as they rapidly develop solutions to sustainable challenges in a game show format.
In NOT NATURAL/SCI-FI Tour, Learning Experience Facilitators will introduce students to the key concepts and ideas, facilitate group discussions and activities, and prompt students to think critically about the works. Students will have the opportunity to independently explore the exhibition with a scavenger hunt quiz containing thought-provoking questions and reflective activities before sharing their experience with the group.
