ABOUT THE PROGRAM
GreenFab: Sustainable Design Through Engineering and Technology GreenFab is a high school program for students from the South Bronx that aims to teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skills through classes on sustainable design and green technologies. GreenFab provides a project-based, hands-on approach to teaching STEM concepts while emphasizing a focus on career development in the emergent field of Sustainable Technologies. GreenFab is a collaborative effort between Vision Education and Media, Sustainable South Bronx, New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program and The Bronx Guild High School. The program is housed in a FabLab in Hunts Point, a pleasant 50-minute subway ride from ITP.
“Greenfab has been an extraordinary experience for me. Bringing the valuable ITP experience of physical computing, design and invention into the project-building hands of South Bronx High School students is a unique and incredible opportunity to share my own enthusiasm for learning through building things (and taking things apart!) and in turn, guide students towards making discoveries and becoming inventors themselves.” Lori Napoleon, GreenTech Instructor ’10, ’11, ITP ’08
