See the possibilities
of city planning through young eyes. Kindergarteners through second graders
from every D.C. Public School in the city spent six weeks exploring
their school communities as part of an art project planned in partnership with
the Museum. Several classes visited the Museum to learn about city planning,
and Museum educators worked with teachers on professional development related
to urban design. In this culminating event, students from eight schools, one
from each Ward of D.C., take over the Great Hall to design a cardboard city of
their dreams.
