Urban Design Center Visit

On February 10th our after school program visited the Raleigh Urban Design Center. UDC staff presented information on some of the current development projects happening in downtown Raleigh.

We talked a lot about what a makes a building "green".
Using renewable resources as construction materials
Using geothermal, hydroelectric, methane and other energy sources

Hey do you know what LEED stands for?
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

Watch out!

We have unleashed the Moore Square Middle School madness to the streets of downtown Raleigh! We will post some our student photos early next week...

Thursday January 29th

Today we started our marble tile transfers and learned more about global water use. Do you know how much drinkable water we actually have on this planet? Not much. Our photo blogger Jessica took the photos below...

Tuesday January 27th!

"Today Ms. Ladye Jane (from the Raleigh City Museum) came and talked to us about Raleigh water. We made two postcards, one about historic Raleigh in general, another about Raleigh water." - Hannah, student participant (pictured above)

Day 1!

We had our first session of the CAM after school program on Thursday January 22nd. All 18 kids were present! It was great to finally meet all the kids and get started on this exciting program. We were supposed to start our program on Tuesday, but it snowed!

We will be posting to this blog after each after school session. AND our participating students will be sharing their thoughts and photos to post here as well. Unfortunately we did not give our first student blogger very much time to write so I will be adding her post next week.

Our blog photographer for the day, Emma, took these photos of the students working on their historical Raleigh postcards...


We are off to a great start!

2009 Program!

We cannot wait to start our 2009 after school program with Moore Square Museums Magnet Middle School.  Students will be registering this week!
