Stephen J. Quigley ; Abigail Zimmeran ; Raquel Buege ; Destin Natele Cappello-Perez ; Ashanti Duncan

Abstract

This webtext shares the curriculum for a day camp workshop that invites pre-teen students to learn about and engage with sustainable design practices, and to share their observations and findings through discussions and multimodal webtexts. They also discuss the value of addressing sustainable practices from multiple age perspectives, and based on multiple sites—a pollinator garden, a bike repair shop, a thrift store, and more.
