POSTED BY
Evelyn Kanter

free online learning programs for middle school and high school studentsNYC kids and teachers should sign up now for these FREE online programs this fall and winter for young people interested in urban ecology and the environment, including an internship, and lesson plans for educators teaching them.  Some  programs combine virtual and in-person field trips.

These STEM programs are held weekly, through December, for middle school and high school students in New York City.  The learning programs are sponsored by the NYC Parks Department.

FREE Learning Programs for NYC Students

Learn about the ecology of our waterways

The Coastal Classroom After School program is designed for middle school students to create meaningful relationships with waterfront parks, looking at topics including coastal ecology, water quality, urban waterfront restoration and preservation.

Using virtual lessons and authentic learning experiences, students will learn about the ecology of the aquatic ecosystems in NYC waterfront parks and the species living in them.  And they’ll have fun in the process.

This free after-school online program is weekly through December 4, 3:30 to 5:30 PM

Become an environmental advocate with Green Girls.

This  award-winning after school program, CityParks Green Girls Empowered by ING, uses fun-filled online adventures to teach middle school girls about the natural ecosystems in NYC’s parks, careers in the sciences, and about their own power to create change and advocate for the environment and their parks.

Participants will investigate how climate change is affecting our city and our future and will learn the history of climate action and how young people have advocated for the environment.

This year, because of the pandemic related changes, Green Girls will have a particular opportunity to focus on how climate change is affecting NYC and its future.

Students will learn about the history of climate action and how young people have advocated for the environment. The Green Girls will take part in this advocacy as a group.

Green Girls meet weekly online through December 17th, with multiple session times available to fit your student’s schedule.
