HMC Architects created a sustainability program for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students at McKinley Elementary School in Santa Monica, CA that focused on energy, water, and waste. The goal was to provide students with a global perspective of environmental issues and give them suggestions on how they can build a better planet. Technology made it possible to reach beyond Santa Monica as students from Venezuela participated remotely in the workshops.
