Recycling And Climate Change
BELL Organization Recycling and Climate Change Program is a six-week program which aims to motivate community interest among students from an early age in learning about climate change and sustainable living. Students learn to incorporate sustainable practices through recycling such as incorporating compost in vegetable gardening where they grow produce like spinach, kale, carrots, and lettuce. The program consists of growing vegetables in a community garden in the Bronx as well as an at-home plant care project where students can grow smaller herbs and plants. Upon completing the program, students get a $100 gift card, a certificate of completion, and all of the vegetables and plants that you’ve grown.
Mathematics and Robotics
Participants (Those over the age of 12 or with a basic understanding of robotics and mathematics are recommended) learn the fundamentals of math and robotics, which will help them gain the skills they need for careers in the field as well as prepare for higher education in robotics. Assessment tests are required of students who apply for placement. Students received a Certificate of Completion when they finish the workshop.
