Connected Spaces

The Connected Spaces project is researching and developing a technological toolkit and design framework to connect geographically distributed youth makers with peers, mentors, and technical assistance.

Biomaking

In biomaking learners collaboratively construct with grown materials and living organisms. In this project we explore how biodesign and biomaking transforms the maker's relationship to the living environment.

Critical Constructionist Design

The Critical Constructionist Design project examines how young people use critical design practices to imagine, communicate, and make real future societies and technologies the lives and values of their community.

FACS

The Formative Assessments for Computer Science in NYC project seeks to create a method to measure CS learning through a playful constructionist assessment system that will provide formative feedback to students and teachers.

CS-NYCE

CS-NYCE examines imminent, core questions around the design and implementation of the CS4All initiative deployed throughout in diverse NYC communities.

Interspecies Creativity

How is our relationship to nature changed when we engage with it as co-equal collaobrator, rather than materials to be controlled and extracted?

Make with Data

The Make with Data project aims to address the lack of diversity in STEM fields by engaging high school aged learners in an after-school club that uses data to identify a compelling local community challenge and to design a potential solution to address the problem.

Bots for Tots

As the "maker movement" continues to expand and enter formal education settings, how can we ensure this opportunity remains open and welcoming to young girls and children from underrepresented communities?

Reimagining Game Design

RiGD explores a design framework for building learning video games that bridge intuitive science ideas to formal representations and concepts.
