This immersive workshop will be led by L. Vargas, the Lower Eastside Girls Club’s senior manager of STEM programs. Participants learn about design thinking as a way to imagine and prototype new ideas for improving our city and our world as we rapidly adapt to our changing climate. Using sustainable and recycled materials, participants will brainstorm, design, and create prototypes of potential new ways to live in a world that is ever changing.

This workshop will be offered on site at MoMA, and registration is limited to members of the Lower Eastside Girls Clubs community.

Since 1996, the Lower Eastside Girls Club (LESGC) has supported young women and gender-expansive youth of color throughout New York City in leveraging their inner power to shape a better future for themselves, their community, and the world. As an innovative learning hub, LESGC models practices of community resilience and healing-centered engagement through free, year-round innovative programs in STEM, the arts, digital media and sound, wellness, civic engagement, and leadership.
