This community-based theater group has amazing education resources that can bring Shakespeare to any age group -- and in June they have incredible (and affordable) productions for kids and adults! My classroom had a visit from their director of education, Stephanie, and the kids were super engaged the entire time. It helped us access our Shakespeare curriculum in new and exciting ways.

The Phragmite Forest: This is a place that brings me and my students so much joy. We can push through a maze of phragmites to see the river on the other side, play in a structure of sticks built by past students, search for long sticks to use as fishing poles, look out for ducks and great blue herons. After a rain, we always wear boots, because it tends to flood.

The Ely Center for Contemporary Art (ECOCA) is temporarily based on the ground floor of CitySeed on 162 James Street, New Haven, CT for the 2026 calendar year.

I know, firsthand, that this space wants to engage more with the New Haven school community. It is a beautiful space dedicated for emerging, local artists. These artists have shows and workshops all the time throughout the year at the center.

I find it a great spot to show students how practicing artists interact with the community. Contemporary art on view at ECOCA is often space/place-based, pushing and challenging conventional ways of making through interdisciplinary practices. This space is underlooked in the school community, but offers students a fresh look of different types of artists, as their shows change every 2 months.

ECOCA has actually been around since the 1960s at its previous location on Trumble St., New Haven, CT.

From their website: Little Liberia (known as Ethiope, then Liberia in the 1800s) was a seafaring community of free people of color. It boasted a luxurious seaside resort hotel for wealthy Blacks (cited in a letter to Frederick Douglass), Bridgeport’s first free lending library, a school for colored children, businesses, fraternal organizations, and churches. Of about 36 structures that comprised Little Liberia, only the Freeman Houses survive on original foundations. Mary Freeman (1815–1883) and Eliza Freeman (1805- 1862) were accomplished business women. When Mary Freeman died, the only Bridgeporter of greater wealth was legendary showman P.T. Barnum. The Freeman Houses are listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their significance to African Americans and Women.“In Bridgeport the blacks may reign. This, then, is the spot for respectable colored people. Let them never play the tail part anywhere, when they can play the head.”

– Correspondent, Ethiop

What is EE?

Environmental education (EE) integrates the natural world and meaningful outdoor experiences into learning, every day and everywhere. It develops working knowledge of concepts we all need to understand: how natural systems work, how to interact responsibly with our environment, and how we can protect natural resources for future generations.

​

Who Benefits from EE?

​

The outdoors are for everyone.

Historically, safe access to the outdoors and environmental learning has excluded communities of color, low-income families and people with disabilities. At the same time, the field of environmental education is an overwhelmingly white workforce. We recognize, name and actively work to change these dynamics to advance equity in environmental education.

Lifelong learners.

Learners of all ages, from infancy through adulthood, can benefit from the connection to and understanding of our environments that comes from environmental education. Implementing environmental education into every school day can build the foundation for lifelong engagement.

Why is EE Important?

​

Healthier, happier, smarter

Research shows regular time in nature contributes to overall health and wellbeing.

​

Provides a spectrum of opportunities

EE can be as simple as going outside or as complex as tackling systems change.

Builds lasting connections

Because EE takes place in many different ways and places, people can build knowledge and make strong connections over time.

​

Inspires civic action

EE brings us together to learn about our world and how to best care for and sustain it for future generations.

Deeper understanding

When EE happens in school, it elevates understanding of all subjects, from math and science to literature and arts.

Photo Contest Winners!

This area can be used to clean metal things gently. So if you have something that you want to remove the rust or paint from without removing any of the underlying metal (like a sandblaster would), this tool could be useful for that.

In this area we have two setups for stained glass making, including grinders, cutters, backlights, soldering tools, and more.

Many plastic recyclables in our area lack a stamp indicating the type of plastic used to create the object. This device would allow these items - including a significant % of caps/lids, to be sorted and recycled using the Precious Plastic machines: https://matoha.com/shop/plastell-desktop-18#attr=

A 3D scanner would be a very useful tool in developing designs for the 3D printers. I believe that it could be useful in designing for the CNC machines as well.

This grinder is ideal for stained glass (grinding long straight pieces) as well as pottery (grinding excess glass and the bottoms of pieces).

Plug into USB strip to light up. Used for tracing & planning with stained glass
