Justice Starts at Home

Lab: Justice Through School Gardens, Fall 2022
Type: Project
Team: Marshall Morgan, Ryan Brown, Bradley McNish, Dawson Singer, Shardul Shetye, Julian Padilla, Jose Valdez

In the US children are facing a mental, social, environmental, and health crisis that stems from a lack of hope, education, and opportunities. One of the most effective ways to address this crisis is to develop and support fun and educational programming and opportunities. An effective solution that has been found through research is school gardens. However, with that said many marginalized and at risk communities, don't have the opportunities at school to participate in such a program. As a result our group chose to focus at an at-home solution and approach to ensure all children (and their families) had access to this opportunity. Through our research and project we are simply hoping to make a difference in the lives of our local community and we are hoping to inspire the next generation of learners and of advocates. Given the research we have done in class we have a fundamental understanding of the area of study and we plan on implementing said research to address the problem. We plan on doing this by creating an educational program for students that teaches them about sustainability and gardening, while additionally, providing them with the necessary tools to successfully implement their learning. The educational program will take the form of a video series and the garden kits will be given to the students at a local school that serves marginalized communities. By considering sustainability and psychological well being as the foundation of this project, our team is able to use our experience with computer science and digital media to create an effective and accessible educational program.
