Interactive Workshop and Panel Discussion Hosted by Launch at EDTECHWEEK

Launch had the unique opportunity to host “Creating Pathways to Green Jobs- Imagining An Experiential Learning Campus at Floyd Bennett Field” an interactive workshop and discussion at the 2022 annual EDTECH WEEK. 

We had an amazing time envisioning a transformative education ecosystem with our collective of partner organizations and our Launch students!

Our experiential learning campus at Floyd Bennett Field promises to empower students who have been denied access to world-class schools to disrupt inequities in society and build a better world. This project offers a vision for the future of education, workforce development and environmental sustainability, where communities, students, educators and families from across the city, country and world are invited to gather, learn and co-create a sustainable, equitable and just society.
