Overview
Goal: Create an outdoor classroom experience in the GISA courtyard that centers around a topic of student choice.
Description: Working in the unused, overgrown courtyard at our building, students were tasked with building, based on need and personal interest, components of an outdoor learning space. Students wanted to incorporate elements that could be utilized for all students (such as a play area, hammock, and garden) while still allowing for multiple seating arrangements for usability.
