This video is about a student's uncovering of the importance of green space and mental health.
- 9th Grade Sustainability Design Challenge- This culminating project was a hands on design challenge that allowed students to re-imagine their local campus and community context in a more sustainable way. These projects, like the PSA's above where part of the youth participatory action research that all 9th grade students were engaged in during the inaugural year of the small schools at Augustus Hawkins High School. The students displayed their work in a fair that was co-hosted by Los Angeles Food Policy Council, introducing a community market conversion program. The projects are also intended to be a first iteration of potential campus transformation projects that come to fruition, such as rain and vegetable gardens. The Center for Urban Resilience at LMU also played a pivotal role in helping students to think critically about the urban landscape as an ecosystem.
- 9th Grade Los Angeles Riots Student Map Presentations - Students presented thier interactive maps, documenting their examination of place and time within the context of the 20 year anniversary of the LA Riots.
