Dream Light & Sound Comfort Kits

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

he Phenomena Under Investigation: Exploring how light and sound can be optimized to improve sleep quality in children, particularly those in foster care who may experience difficulty sleeping in new environments. Client Request: Precious Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the well-being of foster youth, has requested the development of comforting devices that incorporate light and sound to improve sleep among foster children for their Comfort Shop. These devices should be easy to use, help children feel secure in new environments, and cater to the needs of those facing challenges like trauma and instability.

Going Green: Boston's Youth Revolution!

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

Boston Green Academy 8th graders will work for two weeks from June 2 to June 13 to explore the Green New Deal for Boston, a cornerstone of Mayor Michelle Wu's administration and platform. They will need to understand where the phrase New Deal derives from (from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's work and New Deal agencies such as the Public Works Administration and National Recovery Administration (NRA) while learning about New Deal programs and sites in Boston (for example, the bridge carrying the Jamaicaway over Route 9: https://www.jphs.org/transportation/jamaicaway-bridge-over-route-9.html or others here: https://livingnewdeal.org/us/ma/boston-ma ). They will then learn about Boston's Green New Deal https://www.boston.gov/departments/mayors-office/bostons-green-new-deal and interact with Boston's data dashboard for the Green New Deal. They should learn what BERDO means and how a huge portion of Boston's total carbon emissions come from buildings, especially large buildings. Their final product and showcase should propose priorities of focus for Mayor Wu and Oliver Sellers-Garcia, Boston's Green New Deal Director and should imagine a whole new way forward for the future of Boston that is inclusive of youth and responsive to the needs of their neighborhoods and communities. Ideally the final showcase involves people who need to hear from our students and who will push them to do great and creative work.
